As angry as I am, or was, about the Supreme Court’s decision regarding Proposition 8, which when you read the decision is really more of a victory for us than not, but the pre-planned protest response to it? What a crock.
Marriage Equality USA planned on blocking an intersection as a symbolic protest, but they chose the intersection of Grove and Van Ness. They had arranged the protest ahead of time with the City, so that they could re-route traffic.
This is the proper expression of anger? I’m all for non-violent protest, but these protests should be much more like critical mass, where there’s a starting point but they don’t let the police know where they are going in advance. A better intersection to block would have been Market and Van Ness.
Just because the city government is sympathetic to the cause is no reason to be as cooperative with them as these organizers are. This strategy is completely and utterly empty, and no real expression of anger.
