TODAY: Prop 8 Ruling and Rallies
Sometime today (likely in the early afternoon) Judge Walker will issue his ruling on Proposition 8, the state ban on same-sex marriage. Rallies and marches are planned throughout the Bay Area and elsewhere in California, no matter which way the decision goes.
*Update: The judge has ruled Prop 8 Unconstitutional. Join in celebration and prepare for more battles as the case works its way up the judicial system. More Rallies listed here: http://wockner.blogspot.com/*
