Nation-wide protest against California's Prop 8. Going down this Saturday. From this page, if you're interested and able to march, you'll find a state-by-state locator for the protest site nearest you. The e-mail I received from the organizer in my area indicated that signs protesting measures aimed at LGBT rights in other states,

OH THANK GOD. I'm in LA, so I can be pretty sure there'll be one. Right after the election, there were mid-week protests in front of the big LDS church for a couple days, but I have to be at home to stay with my grandma since there's no one else. So knowing for sure there's something I can go to and that it's on a weekend and there's no scrambling of any kind to worry about...yes. I jones for a good protest, I'm so shameless.

Yay! I can't say I jones for a good protest for the same reason I couldn't say I enjoyed phonebanking for Obama (i.e., MORTAL TERROR of other human beings), but it'll make it easier to know that people I know are out there doing it, too. *glomps you preemptively*

I am a very unsocial person, and protests make me actively friendly. It's kind of like...the best of everybody comes together. Or something.

Unbelievable there's one in my little podunk town! Looks like I know what I'm doing Saturday morning.

*glomps you* Thanks! See you there. Er, figuratively speaking. See you from across the country. :)

D: Not looking forward to seeing what depressing things are in that post, no. But bless you for being willing to post. Baby steps, and all. *hugs*

I have to work on Saturday, but I'm going leave as early as possible or take a very very very very very long lunch to go to the NYC protest.

That is absolutely awesome of you.
