Gay equality as we know it in California has taken a turn for the worst as Proposition 8, a bill to ban gay marriages, unfortunately passed.

The LGBT community is calling out to all California residents and to the entire world to please stand up and fight against this madness. It is immorally wrong to deny any couple of their rights to get married and it is ridiculous to put words into our lords mouth that shows such disdain and hate for another human being.

Please attend the protest Saturday, Nov. 8, at Sunset Junction @ 6 p.m. More info after the jump.

All progressive people who stand for equality and against discrimination should come out this Saturday in Los Angeles to protest the passage of California’ Proposition 8. The well-funded right-wing campaign of bigotry is trying to push millions of LGBT people back into the closet. We can’t let this happen. Everyone should have the right to marry. The LGBT movement and its allies won same-sex marriage rights and only a militant movement will ultimately prevail. Gay or straight, documented or undocumented; Black, Latino, Asian, Arab or white—the passage of Prop. 8 is a slap in the face of equality for everyone. Let’s unite and fight back! An injury to one is an injury to all!

An Injury to All
Civil rights are non-negotiable and must be restored to all same-sex couples seeking to marry. Millions have gone to the polls to vote for same-sex marriage rights. Now the fight must go on. Together we will win.

’Till Every Battle’s Won
The well-funded forces of bigotry and discrimination think they have turned back the clock of history. Wrong! The struggle for full equality for the LGBT people will continue until the right to marry is won—in California and under federal law throughout the U.S.

Stand Up! Fight Back!
The narrow victory at the polls by opponents of civil rights for LGBT people will not stand. From Stonewall to full equality, our movement is growing as millions say “yes” to marriage equality. With greater unity and greater determination, the fight must and will go on. Victory is certain.

No to bigotry and homophobia! No to sexism! No to racism! Equal marriage rights now!
