Several Gay Marriage Ban Protesters Arrested in Clashes With Police in California

Seven people were arrested Thursday during ongoing protests in Los Angeles and San Francisco against California's passage of a ban on gay marriage.

LAPD Officer Jason Lee said the marchers were mostly peaceful in the demonstration against Proposition 8 that began Wednesday night in West Hollywood and continued into Thursday morning.

Four people were taken into custody at the intersection of Hollywood and Highland when they tried to cross a line of officers.

Two more protesters were arrested in West Hollywood for disturbing the peace and another for public drunkenness, according to Sheriff's Sgt. Kristin Aloma.

San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom expressed frustration with the ban, but said he is hopeful it will be overturned in court.

The loss was a political defeat for Newsom, who's been one of the most prominent advocates of same-sex marriage. However, he believed the effect on his gubernatorial aspirations is "trivial" and "irrelevant."

City attorneys of Los Angeles and San Francisco, along with the American Civil Liberties Union, filed requests for the state Supreme Court to overturn the gay marriage ban on Wednesday.

You know, there's some sort of law--the "Freedom of Access" law or something like that--which prohibits pro-lifers from getting "too close" to abortion establishments.

Maybe not in this particular case, as it isn't clear if anyone was impeded by the "protestors"--but perhaps this "Freedom of Access" law could be used for protestors in all other things, when they deny access to one thing or another?

...like the code-pinkos blocking access to military recruiting offices in the Peoples Republic of Berkleystan?

They keep playing a sound bite on the radio of the protestors, who unsurprisingly sound deranged  :whatever:

The only thing that has surprised me about the whole deal was the fact that CALIFORNIA voted in the ban in the first place.  I'm assuming North California got the vote out big time for that.

Obama, himself helped defeat it.  Blacks came out for Obama, but voted hugely in favor of Prop 8.  :rotf:

I would expect the Hispanic/Catholic vote to help as well.

Blatant appeal by the left to legislate from the bench yet again. Millions of people voted for this but so what?  :banghead:
