After the passage of Proposition 8, there was a brief collective breath, and then it began…

• Opponents of Prop 8 march in West Hollywood (11/05/08)
• No on 8 supporters hold vigil at SF City Hall (11/05/08)
• 3000 protestors march on Mormon temple in Los Angeles (11/06/08)
• Protest march in downtown San Francisco (11/07/08)
• Protest against Focus on the Family in Chicago (11/8/08)
• Rally Against Bigotry at St. Mary’s Cathedral in San Francisco (11/9/08)

Protests are also being organized in Long Beach, Boston and Salt Lake City.

You will find a very comprehensive list at Queers United.

In addition, several petitions are gaining traction on the internet. Here and here.

And finally, three lawsuits have been filed against Prop 8.

We will fight this thing. And we will win.

My partner and I was among the 2000 standing outside of San Francisco City Hall tonight, declaring that our fight to secure marriage equality for all Californians was far from over. Similar vigils were held across California in Los Angeles, San Diego, San Jose and other major cities.

I had hoped the turn out would be closer to 5000 but the lateness in notice and hour likely affected the attendence. Speakers included local politicians, religious leaders and people who played key roles in the No on 8 campaign. All worked hard to buoy our spirits and instill a sense of hope, encouraging us to keep up the fight. It was a cathartic experience that helped ease the seesaw of emotions I had felt all day. Here are a few photos from the vigil.
