I am obsessed with protesting Prop 8. I even get dressed up in my black tie looks to rally. Last weekend, I marched through Silver Lake, near the former Black Cat Bar (which the city recently made a historic cultural monument for its role in the '60s as a center of the local gay rights movement) with over 12,000 people chanting for equal rights. Drew Barrymore was in the crowd as well as and many, many other "straights against H8." This Saturday, in major cities around the country, major demonstrations are planned at City Halls to protest Prop 8. Check out http://justfair.us/ for more info on how to get involved. What to wear to a protest? Buy Levi's, a company that has supported gay rights and campaigned against Prop 8 from the early days. And Levi's are always chic. Join the protest: the time is now!
