Proposition 8 Protestors

Protestors supporting proposition 8 gathered on March 4 to rally through the night in downtown Los Angeles, Sand Diego, and San Francisco. Calling it "The Eve of Justice", supporters protested the ban of same-sex marriage before the supreme court on its constitutionality. Many other protests have been organized to both support and oppose prop 8. The proposition which has the possibility of being overturned was previously approved by voters last month.California Attorney General Jerry Brown is asking the state Supreme Court to overturn the proposition. "Proposition 8 must be invalidated because the amendment process cannot be used to extinguish fundamental constitutional rights without compelling justification," Brown said in a statement. While others may have conflicting views on the proposition, it is up to the Supreme Court to make the final decision on proposition 8.
