Re “Focused beyond marriage,” Nov. 6
To the thousands at the rally to protest Proposition 8, thank you for coming. But where were you when we needed you?
On Sunday, my husband and I attended what was supposed to be a “No on 8” rally in West Hollywood. The turnout was only about 300 to 400 people. As we walked back from the rally, we saw what seemed like thousands more of you out drinking. You couldn’t be bothered to take a couple of hours to demonstrate for your civil rights.
I’ve heard it all: “Isn’t giving money enough?” “Don’t worry, this thing will never pass.” Well, guess what: Proposition 8 did pass. And now you decide to rally? Perhaps next time you won’t wait to get out there and fight.
