Description
More than 1,000 people attended a rally at Fort Lauderdale City Hall protesting the passage of Amendment 2 in Florida and Proposition 8 in California, which discriminates against LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender/transsexual ) people in The United States of America.The protests were part of the βJoin the Impactβ [link] campaign to have a synchronized reaction of outrage across the country because of the passage of laws in Arizona, California and Florida defining marriage as an institution between a man and a woman only.
Proposition 8 in California and Amendment 2 in Florida have become a symbol of the struggle for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender rights. It is also argued the laws will restrict rights to heterosexuals who are domestic partners and not married.

You're welcome! It's great that you take photos at protests like these. People need to see images of people make progressive political statements, especially when it comes to LGBT rights. A lot of states have same-sex marriage laws proposed in the their legislatures now, so the pressure is on!

It got banned in California. The gay marriage I mean... I know nothing of Florida. I'm against the marriage, but I could really care less for gays as long as they don't try coming on to me

homophobe much?
haha! I'm just joking around. i think it is people like you i have a hard time trying to understand but i try.
Well, if someone who is homosexual came on to you, what would you do?

Well, I don't have to accept it just because others do.
That's fine.
If one came on to me I'd tell them I'm not that way and leave me alone. If they continue then yes, I would be rude in telling them

Heh...
You're welcome. Thank you for not taking it so seriously and being pushy ^^

oh no problem! I actually do not like it at all when people who seem determine to really push you until you accept or agree with their beliefs/values/opinions etc.
