Prop 8 Protest Silverlake

Todays ruling by the Supreme Court of California which upheld Prop 8 marks a sad day not only for the gay and lesbian communities but for every American citizen. When the civil rights of any one of us are denied we are all denied. Though the unions of the 18,000+ couples who were wed before Prop 8 was passed in November will not be dissolved, Chief Justice Ronald George stated:

same-sex couples continue to enjoy the same substantive core benefits as those enjoyed by opposite-sex couples, including the constitutional right to enter into an officially recognized and protected family relationship with the person of ones choice and to raise children. George said voters have added the sole, albeit significant, exception that the designation of marriage is now reserved for opposite-sex couples.
