Today's posts consist of text and photos from many of the marches and rallies held across the country to protest the Prop 8 vote in California and to show support for marriage equality. Many of the photos come from Andrew Sullivan's blog, from Bilerico Project and elsewhere.
Greenville, South Carolina
With less than 24 hours notice that a rally was being held in Greenville, SC about 40 of us gathered in front of City Hall to let others know we support equal marriage for all persons. As this is the center of the Bible Belt, we were unsure of what reaction we would receive from passing motorists and pedestrians. What a pleasant surprise, the only fingers displayed to us were in the shape of a V. Horns honked, people shouted support and a few folks even joined us to lend their support. The crowd itself ranged from those in their 20's through to a couple in their late 50's. A huge surprise and confidence booster is the fact that 10-15 of those in attendance were heterosexual... they came to show their support.
