		<description>Yeah, it would have been amazing to see so many people take to the streets BEFORE the vote... But I guess that&#039;s how movements flare up - once you&#039;ve been slapped down, you get up (like some kick-ass kickboxer) and get ready to bring it on...

		<description>This is a consequence of the gay community being apathetic toward these issues.  It think we became too comfortable with believing change would &quot;just happen&quot; as a trend.  We are forgetting the actual ACTION it took from the gay community of past generations to pave the liberties we have today.  Prop 8 passing was probably the best thing that could have happened to the gay community in retrospect.</description>

		<description>Might I remind everyone that is picketing and boycotting Utah and the LDS that it was the Catholic San Francisco Arch Bishop who, back in June just a few weeks after the previous proposition was overturned, who called up his friends in Utah to organize the unholy alliance.  If you want to do something, protest the Catholics too.</description>

		<description>I completely agree with StraightGuyHere&#039;s comments. We might be a sizable group in major metro areas, but in much of the country, we&#039;re a tiny minority. We can&#039;t do this on our own; we need straight allies that agree: No matter how you feel about marriage, we can all agree that discrimination is wrong.

We&#039;re a strong, smart group of individuals, and we need to gain the public&#039;s goodwill on this. Fighting back with hate and violence will only turn a majority of Americans against us.</description>

		<description>We must keep our eye on the bigger picture though, and make sure these demonstrations do not turn into a huge PR fiasco... At first I was hoping the courts would overturn this vote, and I do believe it would be right to do so. But we just elected a president who said he supported equal civil unions on a federal level, and congress might be progressive enough now to follow through. Going against the &quot;will of the people&quot; in CA might make acquiring federal civil unions (even if they remain separate but equal) harder. Prop 8 will be repealed one day - perhaps we should wait until federal rights are secured first though. I mean, gay marriage would have come to CA eventually if we had not pushed it through the courts. We needed to wait until a democratic governor was elected, which was bound to happen. Now the constitution has been changed, and the fight got more difficult. We must pick our battles wisely and not try to go too fast. A constitutional amendment on the federal level is the real danger. Just my 2 cents...</description>

		<description>we need to DEMAND our rights.  no more second-class citizenship.  but also, no fighting hate with hate.  let&#039;s just get out there and stand up for the truth: gay rights are equal rights.</description>

		<description>I am a pretty conservative guy on most issues, and am heterosexual.  One area where I&#039;m more liberal is gay rights.  I think gays get treated miserably, and I&#039;d love to see that change. Marriage, right to adopt, real equality - you guys deserve it all. But I&#039;ve gotta tell you: the N-word vitriol, the ugly, ugly things you&#039;re saying about Catholic and Mormons, it&#039;s all working against you in a very big way.  Please stop.  You&#039;re setting your movement back decades with this madness.  I hope you turn it around.</description>

		<description>UMmm I guess nothing happen in the rest of the State? What about Sacramento? We have had rallies with good size number (1000 +) since Wednesday. Yesterday we 11/09 we had a crowd of over 4000. If you are going to give a run down of rallies in CA, don&#039;t forget the non mega gayvilles. There were little protest in tiny towns all over this weekend. That should be the real stories. Brave people are standing up in these small communities.</description>

		<description>equating these gay marriage protests with stonewall has to be the most atrocious mis-representation and deluding of historically significant protest in contemporary queer politics.

stonewall was a fucking riot for self determination! gay marriage is some assimilationist bullshit. the queers and trannies of color that fought the cops in the 60&#039;s are surely rolling in their graves at such awful comparisonsâ€¦</description>

		<description>@&lt;a href=&quot;#comment-95193&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Trenton&lt;/a&gt;: I agree, the emphasis needs to be national, rights for GLBTQ in CA is great but national protests are needed because we as a community need to demand rights all over.  We don&#039;t even have acceptable hate crime legislation on the books.  NATIONAL FIGHT, NATIONAL PROTESTS, NATIONAL RIGHTS!</description>

		<description>re-name Sundance Film Festival...this year 
 
Make it &quot;Sundance in EXILE Film Festival&quot;, this makes it clear to Utah that their actions caused this move THIS year, and if they leave LGBT people&#039;s Human Rights alone, the festival will return. 
I would argue HOW FESTIVE is a film festival when one group is made to feel EXCLUDED?</description>

		<description>There was a protest outside of the LDS church in downtown Seattle, but only 50 or so people showed. I hope we can start to match these numbers even in a small measure, because this IS a national fight (have we already forgotten that Prop 2 also passed?).</description>

&quot;don&#039;t be surprised when blood is spilled&quot;

We have to be very wise with the word choices we make around here, considering the fact that we already know a lot of the righties troll these boards (+ this one, specifically) for quotes that build their case for how &quot;dangerous&quot; + &quot;intolerant&quot; we are.

Let&#039;s not give them any more ammo, even if it&#039;s just in the form of a statement that can be taken as a threat against our opposition.</description>

		<description>Please write to your senators, and representatives asking for a full repeal of DOMA, the defense of marriage act.  Even if all 50 states adopt equal marriage, those marriages can never be recognized an a federal level while DOMA is in place.</description>

		<description>Paul perhaps that&#039;s why we are the last to get our rights. I am not advocating real discord. I am just pointing out that it took the image of a Malcolm X to give me the sense that things got to change and go with the much safer Martin Luther King.  Perhaps we need an Act Up again that is not civil to let everyone know that there is something we have at stake here?</description>

		<description>Wow!

When LGBTQ&#039;s throw a protest, its peaceful: No looting; no assaulting bystanders; no assaults on the police; and no property damage.

When everyone else throws a protest, it absolute mayhem.

And we&#039;re the people that America needs protecting from?</description>

		<description>For those of you in New York, there is a planned demonstration at the Mormon Temple in Manhattan at Columbus &amp; 65th, this Wednesday from 630 to 8. Let&#039;s show our brothers and sisters in California the support they deserve and tell the Mormon Church it&#039;s NOT okay for them to get involved in political and legislative matters.</description>

		<description>Hey, coming from Belgium (where we have gay marriage), comes our unconditional support. Don&#039;t let down! Keep protesting! Change will come in California too. We are totally behind your fight, because it is still our fight too. Discrimination is wrong; we need education and the understanding that marriage is a civil issue, not religion. Love.</description>

		<description>its easy to &quot;should&quot; on the current efforts.  better to save it for the coffee table convos, and focus our energy on doing something constructive, like hit the streets.  large numbers are newsworthy.

don&#039;t be surprised when blood is spilled.  it is going to happen, and it is the cost of revolt.

i remember the 60&#039;s.  learn from the old-timers.
