Michael Jackson and Proposition 8

I am listening to the Michael Jackson memorial service as I write this blog, but an interesting tweet this morning that compared the massive amount of people expected to descend upon downtown Los Angeles and those who turned out to protest Proposition 8 certainly grabbed my attention.

Queerunity pointed out local authorities had expected up to 750,000 people to descend upon downtown Los Angeles today. This figure compares to the mere thousands of people who protested Prop 8 after California voters approved it last November. Some food for thought as the world pauses to mourn the late-King of Pop.
