Following this week's heartbreaking loss in Maine's battle to keep same-sex marriage equality, and the one year anniversary of California's passage of Prop 8, protesters took to the streets of Los Angeles for a march and rally. The march route took protesters past The Black Cat, where members of the gay community first fought back against police brutality before the Stonewall riots.
Following Tuesday's heartbreaking loss in Maine's battle to keep same-sex marriage equality, and for the one year anniversary of Califonia's passage of Prop 8, protesters took to the streets of Los Angeles for a march and rally. The group stepped off at the junction of Vermont and Santa Monica Blvd. in Los Angeles' Silverlake neighborhood around 7:00 pm and marched to Le Barcito --which was the Black Cat --the historic spot where gays first fought back against police brutality, even before the Stonewall riots.
A joyful noise of marchers, taking part in a New Orleans-style funeral, led a Prop 8 coffin through the streets. Participants were encouraged to bring home-made instruments, bells, drums, and kazoos, as well as any signs they wanted to display.
