From the moment that news spread of the passage of California’s Proposition 8 ban on same-sex marriage, a new movement for civil rights and equality began to stir.
Instead of reacting to this Election Day defeat with pessimism, LGBT people and their allies have been organizing and mobilizing for marriage equality with renewed confidence. The movement has spread from its strongest areas of support in California cities to rural areas of the state, and to other states across the country.
