I went to the HUGE protest against California's Proposition 8, which puts discrimination against same sex marriage into the California constitution. Over 12,500 people were there!

I saw lots of my friends, and marched for a while with Wilson Cruz, Darryl Stephens, Cathy DeBuono and Jill Bennett, Nicole Payone (from Logo's Big Gay Sketch show), Jeffrey and Jonathan, Jer Ber Jones/Robbie D, and others. Alec Mapa was there, and tons of other people I knew!

  • Calpernia, you do realize that Barney Frank legislated you and I and crossdressers out of the ENDA bill, and it lost. Now they want our support on this.... hmmm....

  • It's true that I can marry any man I want, but I support my gay friends. I don't think Barney represents the average gay person. I've met with lots of people working for real change in all kinds of arenas -- legal, social, medical, etc -- and they have all denounced him. Those that met with him personally reported him to be bitter, unfriendly and mean.

    The whole HRC and ENDA thing was a fiasco, and I've personally let HRC people know this. But I am against Prop8 because of it's bigotry.

  • Oh Calpernia what were you thinking... PEARLS?? a simple gold chain would have been wayyy more appropiate...lol.

  • I was wearing high-heeled combat boots with my little black dress, though!

  • You really want morality? Stop priests from molesting alter boys, Stop Religious leaders from leading their followers to their deaths, Stop husbands from beating their wifes and women from killing their children. What does a group of people who love each other have to do with morality? Is it wrong to be in love? To respect the union and want to express that to the world? I think not...You want morality teach our children to love and respect each other, not hate and violence.

  • Are the Christians yelling "Pedophiles"?

    Really??

    Um, more than half of registered sex offenders are Christian and almost ALL sex offenders are HETEROSEXUAL.

    The stupidity makes my head hurt.

  • Speaking on behalf of those of us who are true Christians and respect and love everyone regardless of their sexual orientation (because it doesn't matter one way or the other) I would like to apologize to everyone who was at this protest. I am so so sorry they were acting that way towards you. I pray God blesses you and helps open the minds of each and every one of those close minded religion-bound jerks.

  • I just want to say that I'm ashamed of the "Christians" that came and shouted shame on you. It's the so-called Christ followers like them that mess up what God wants to do. He loves everyone! And stupid closed-minded, gay-bashing fake "Christians" that do junk like that tick me off. They need to shut their mouths and stop trying to make life harder for those that have to fight for the regular freedom they deserve everyday already.

  • Why do ignorant people hate ? They got no mind of their own.Hopefully they can learn someday.Well,tt's a nice thought anyway.Gay people deserve a marriage just like anyone else."My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you." —Jesus (John 15:12) Too many Christians have still been pushing some of God's beloved children away from Him and are still in big trouble.God loves gays,too.God doesn't make mistakes.

  • when they're registered sex offenders then it's fine but when a gay person wants to love someone else then that crosses the line.The stupidity makes my head hurt,too.

  • Well, as Oliver Hardy would say... "nmmmm,nmmm!" : )

  • some straight people.... so stupid and so bigoted. trying to deny people equal rights

  • Gays are people, too, dum dum.

  • Why is it pitch black at 6:17? Fuck the people who voted yes on prop 8! It's time that people start standing up for each other and stop crushing the rights of others. It doesn't hurt anyone to get married.
