In the early evening of December 20th, LGBT activists lit up the night for marriage rights in gatherings throughout the greater San Francisco Bay Area. In San Francisco, protesters demonstrated with a candlelight vigil in Union Square crowded with holiday shoppers, while in the South Bay city of San Jose, activists chose CineArts theater as the location for their rally. CineArts Theater is owned by Cinemark, whose CEO donated to the Yes on 8 campaign.

Alan Stock, who is a Utah Mormon, gave $9,999 to support the proposition that bans gay marriage in the state of California. Yet he is benefitting from his company's screening the documentary about Harvey Milk, a man who fought against the repression of gays and lesbians. Demonstrators in San Jose passed out flyers Saturday night, encouraging moviegoers to see the film elsewhere. At another theater in the Cinemark chain, CineArts in Palo Alto Square, activists have been putting flyers on cars in the theater parking lot.

The handouts remind movie viewers that they should not let Cinemark profit from Harvey Milk's legacy. As an expression of their outrage, activists created the flyers with phrases such as "No Milk for Cinemark Theaters" and "Don't Let Bigoted Bullies Steal Your Milk Money". Cinemark Theaters is a chain that includes CineArts, Century and Tinseltown theaters.
