Light Up the Night for Equality - San Francisco (12/20/2008)

Video of the "Light Up the Night for Equality" candlelight vigil held at Union Square in downtown San Francisco. Candlelight vigils were held at commercial centers in cities everywhere in the United States of America on this night, thanks to Join the Impact, a grassroots organization to fight for LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) equal rights. San Francisco Supervisor Bevan Dufty spoke at the San Francisco vigil.

Didn't realize you also live in SF - the best part was that the vigil was at a place where the rest of the larger SF community could see us, and that will make more of a difference.

Thank you for this beautifully edited video.

I sent it to my family and friends as a hanukah card!

i live in sf usually during the some days during the workweek and some weekends, and in sacramento other part of the workweek and other weekends... indeed, exposure is key, but cultivating compassion and struggle against the legitimation of the right's inhuman efforts couldn't hurt... thank you for your simply elegant pieces -- they're just beautiful and inspiring... and happy holidays!
