latimes.com - Thousands of supporters of California's ban on same-sex marriage rallied in Fresno and San Diego on Sunday in what organizers described as a celebration of traditional wedlock and a thank-you to the California Supreme Court for upholding their voter-approved measure.

In Fresno, about 3,000 demonstrators -- the same number who turned out the day before on the other side -- were told not to accept being called bigots because they support traditional marriage.

Democracy and free speech work both ways...good to see conservatives are shedding their anti-activist habits.

I have to agree with you there. Even if your a christian your supposed to love everyone like you love yourself. I don't support gay marriage but I would gladly protest the government preventing it as it infringes on human rights

While I don't agree with them, it is their right to rally. Hopefully in a few years there will be a new vote and gay rights will pass. Considering how much support they got from younger generations, it's really just a matter of time.

Plenty of countries in Europe allow fag marriages. Go find one.
We don't allow cross species marriages either.

conservatives do love a good violent dictatorship, and killing anyone who isn´t like them. the middle east seems like your home sweet home.

Whereas liberals love a peaceful dictatorship. That's why they voted for obama.
Just learn to duck when we take back our country.
ishqboli to keymanjim June 02, 2009 20:39:40

peaceful dictatorship seems like an oximoron to me. nice people don´t try to force you to do things or kill you, like conservatives want. why are you such violent people? it´s really sad how savage you are.

Whether you like it or not we have the right to to exercise our freedom of speech. As long as they continue to fight for same sex marriage we will continue to fight them at the polls. You don't like what we stand for you go to Iraq...
