Protest…

From the SF Gate report on the march… (the LAT report was linked last thread and they did not update):

[T]he temple protest was organized by the L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center. Its chief executive, Lorri Jean, announced a Web-based effort dubbed InvalidateProp8.org to raise money to fight the constitutional amendment and send postcards to the Mormon church president.

Police estimated the protest drew 2,500 people. The event did not have a permit or approved march route.

Demonstrators spilled into the lanes of Santa Monica Boulevard, and then marched around the sprawling temple complex before taking off through the heavily traveled streets of Westwood and, as night fell, toward Beverly Hills.   […]

Caught on the local evening news that there will be a protest in SLC Friday evening, at the big temple.  Main temple… LOL where ever the money changers are.  Maybe Ob could just very very slightly wag his ears as a signal… hey! TO BOTH SIDES!   No need to besmirch himself with a choice.  And we know he has big, really big, stuff to do.  With the big money men…

AP:

[G]ay-marriage proponents filed three court challenges Wednesday against the new ban. The lawsuits raise a rare legal argument: that the ballot measure was actually a dramatic revision of the California Constitution rather than a simple amendment. A constitutional revision must first pass the Legislature before going to the voters.

“Where do you draw the line between ‘revision’ and ‘an amendment’ when those are words in conversation we would use interchangeably?” asked Erwin Chemerinsky, dean of the University of California, Irvine law school. “It’s a highly technical legal question in a highly charged political atmosphere.”

Andrew Pugno, attorney for the coalition of religious and social conservative groups that sponsored the amendment, called the lawsuits “frivolous and regrettable.”

“It is time that the opponents of traditional marriage respect the voters’ decision,” he said.

The high court has not said when it will act. State officials said the ban on gay marriage took effect the morning after the election.

“We don’t consider it a ‘Hail Mary’ at all,” said Kate Kendell, executive director of the National Center for Lesbian Rights. “You simply can’t so something like this — take away a fundamental right at the ballot.”  […]

Other than that all I can think of is:

Hey hey, LDS: How many marriages did you stop today?

And, you know… ditto to the Catholics.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I just landed on this interesting report in TIME which manages to indicate, several times, that Blacks in both CA and FL helped put the bans in place (which is accurate)… but also manages not to mention the Mormon church intervention in the CA process, and from outside the state… nor that the Mormon Church and the Catholic Church colluded (which they may do, but hey, I can use the word “icky” too!  I find it icky, maybe double icky!  LOL…)

They do manage to mention a poor Mormon couple with 5 children, who dipped into their private savings to give 50K to the Yes on 8.  Yes! they feared for their children and the Gay Agenda!   TIME seemed to think it was a particularly California disease.  Oh Good. Maybe I meant, Oh God… Luv the propaganda!

Except for the Mormon couple in the Sacramento area, neither Church nor any of the small churches, faith rallies and prayer circles for Yes on 8 are mentioned.

Helloooooooooooo???

At the close of the article they seem to assign Gov. Paterson of NYS the job of bringing Blacks around to being more amenable to gay marriage.

A very odd report.
