The gay community gathered on a joyful march along Market Street in the spirit of its celebration theme: "In order to form a more perfect union…"
Mayor Gavin Newson e other local authorities participated on this event to show their support and commitment to preserve everyone's civil rights.
This event that usually attracts a joyful crowd this year seemed to have motivated everyone to come out. It felt like the rainbow was attracting everyone to show their support to marriage and family equality.
Prop. 8 gave the gay community a sense of union that is beyond the aspect of civil union. It made us realize that denying lawful recognition to longtime commitment among same gender couples affects the lives of their children as well.
The thought that children of same sex gender grew up by under the social stigma of their illegitimacy status, it's enough reason to recognize that Prop. 8 is extremely unfair!
Meanwhile, gays everywhere shall stand up and keep on shouting out loud: "homophobia got to go!"

Very nice parade, and nice of them to have Michael Jackson's music in it. Now if there are any open-minded Gay's that can forgive or forget the negative things of Eminem. I think Track #17 from he's new CD Relapse would be a good song to play in honor of Michael Jackson and those of low self esteem.......Check out the song first to see if you agree...........Holla back!

We must have justice and equality for all people. I love the new activism around LGBT rights, but fundamenatly, none of us are free until all of us are free.
GnL-if religion were about peace and justice and respect for all people...oh wait, isn't that what Christianity is supposed to be about? Interesting that words of peace and love are twisted into hate and violence--in nearly every cult that ever existed. Christianity is no exception.
