On Saturday, November 15th, roughly 7,000 people gathered ouside Boston's City Hall to protest Proposition 8 and support civil rights. I am proud to say that my roommate, Tara, and I were in the crowd.
We were overwhelmed by the amount of people who showed up, despite the threat of bad weather. The protest lasted about three hours. Though we didn't stay for the entire thing, we saw many passionate speakers. Politicians including US Representatives Mike Capuano, Nikki Tsongas and Edward Markey were greeted by deafening cheers and pumping fists.
