THE RIGHT CALL CANDLELIGHT RALLY AGAINST PROP 8 IN SAN DIEGO

The Right Call. The No On Prop 8 candlelight vigil against Proposition 8 in San Diego was expected to attract only 1,000 or so supporters to hold No On 8 signs and light candles in single file along University Avenue.

7,000 PROUD LGBT, STRAIGHT ALLIES AND OUR CITY'S OWN MAYOR AND DAUGHTER SHOWED UP IN FORCE. WE NOT ONLY FILLED, BUT CHOKED THE STREETS OF SAN DIEGO IN DEFIANCE OF HATEFUL AND DISCRIMINATORY PROP 8! WE REJECT PROP 8.

Oh thank heavens for this video. :( I somehow stumbled upon a video about The Call and watched about 10 videos from that crazy event with those insane people... and I was losing hope in humanity. Thank you for sharing this, I was seriously wanting to cry because those "The Call" videos were making me sick.
