Prop 8 fight
There was some confusion in regards to Vegas’s events. The GLBT center advertised a rally at 2:00 pm in a shopping center but did not also announce the 10:30 am city hall protest. The 10:30 am protest had a mere 70 people in front of city hall, but it looked like we got more support than opposition from the cars passing by. We think the small turnout was because the center claimed to “not know” about the 10:30 event (you know, the national one) and said that the only event was theirs. However, on the positive side there were more than 1,500 people that showed up to the second rally with the guest appearance of Wanda Sykes.
Unfortunately I was unable to attend the second rally and I must say I'm disappointed with the City Hall turnout. However, I'm thrilled that at least 1,500 Las Vegans got off their asses to support a cause.
I've been combing through the local newspapers for any coverage and still can't find any.
