Both Sides Now - San Francisco Prop 8 Protest - Nov. 15 2008 - Join The Impact Rally

Scenes I photographed today at the huge anti-Prop 8 protest rally in San Francisco City Hall Plaza. It was a great day! Quite warm too! Yes We Can! Yes We Will!

song: Both Sides Now (cover) by The Grays with Jason Falkner
___________

lyrics (by Joni Mitchell):

Bows and flows of angel hair and ice cream castles in the air, and feathered canyons everywhere - I've looked at clouds that way

But now they only block the sun, they rain and snow on everyone - so many things I would have done - but clouds got in my way

I've looked at clouds from both sides now - from up and down and still somehow - it's cloud's illusions I recall. I really don't know clouds at all

Moons and Junes and ferris wheels - the dizzy dancing way you feel - when every fairy tale comes real, I've looked at love that way

But now it's just another show, you leave 'em laughin' when you go - and if you care don't let them know, don't give yourself away

I've looked at love from both sides now, from win and lose and still somehow - it's love's illusions I recall. I really don't know love at all

Tears and fears and feeling proud, to say "I love you" right out loud - dreams and schemes and circus crowds, I've looked at life that way

But now old friends are acting strange - they shake their heads, they say I've changed - but something's lost but something's gained in living every day

I've looked at life from both sides now
From win and lose and still somehow
It's life's illusions I recall
I really don't know life at all

Great video! Thanks for sharing it. Loved the scenes and the music.

WE SHALL OVERCOME!

THANKS!! What a great day this was. Such power in solidarity .. not simply AGAINST those who are against gay marriage, for FOR the future of the LGBT community.

I thought that sign making fun of mormons was offensive. No one should be made fun of. Ever.

Great music!

2:16 Best sign ever! (I'm Canadian!)

I was there! Except I was a voluteer, so I was at the front the whole time. I don't know how well some of the crowd could hear, but wasn't Rev. Brown's speech great? I really liked it.

It was a great rally.

"What do we want?" ^_^
