No to H8

So what do you do when your state passes a proposition that denies human beings their civil rights? You take to the streets! Over 10,000 people that included families, friends, lovers, gay and straight were in Silver Lake showing their support for gay rights and outrage over the passsing of Prop 8 that denies gay couples the right to marriage. The march started in Silver Lake and people marched to Sunset Blvd. It was a cheerful, and most of all peaceful demonstration. The momentum generated there was inspiring. And what was even more great was watching all the children and teens that showed up to support the march and participate in it.

So now that the march is done with....
Let us not end the momentum that it has generated. If you weren't able to go there is still more DIRECT ACTION you can do.
Go to Http://lds501c3.wordpress.com. This is an IRS complaint to Revoke the LDS church of its tax exempt for breaking U.S code as a non-profit organization for donating money to passing of Prop 8.
Coverage was also done of the rally and you can read and watch a short video on it done by KTLA news.
