Protest of Proposition 8, Sat @ 1230pm

I'll leave my personal feelings about this Proposition that was passed in California to myself. As a good BUZZ reporter I'm here to let you know that a protest rally is planned for this Saturday, November 15 at 12:30pm. Organizers will be meeting at the J.C. Nichols Fountain (which is between J.C. Nichols & Main on 47th).

Proposition 8 was a California State ballot proposition that amended the state Constitution to restrict the definition of marriage to a union between a man and a woman. It overturned a recent California Supreme Court decision that had recognized same-sex marriage in California as a fundamental right.

It passed 52.3% to 47.7% with most supporters claiming that they were trying to "protect" marriage. This PlazaBUZZ reporter wonders how many that voted were actually divorced... maybe they are the ones that should be protected from marriage?
