All You Need Is Love! (Not Prop 8)

Once returning from the high of finding out Obama is really, truly going to be the next President, we Californians were dealt a heavy blow when we realized that Proposition 8 had passed. We posted a video awhile ago that discussed it, but for anyone that doesn't know, California Prop 8 amends the state constitution "to restrict the definition of marriage to opposite-sex couples and eliminated same-sex couples' right to marry, thereby overriding portions of the ruling of In re Marriage Cases. The measure added a new section (7.5) to Article I, which reads: Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California" - wikipedia



We here at Young Democrats @ UCI did not take kindly to this certain result on the November 4th election, so there was nothing left for us to do, but PROTEST!


There were protests all over the nation, and YD@UCI visited two protests, one in Laguna Beach and the other outside Irvine City Hall. While we may not have been able to pass legislation reversing Prop 8 just yet, we were able to remind Orange County how we felt on the issue, and remind people that the fight isn't over yet.






And in cased you missed this gem of an internet meme, here is Prop 8: The Musical:
