Fighting discrimination in San Francisco, people who were angry about the passage of Proposition 8 in California, which encodes the prohibition against same-sex marriage in California's constitution (and with only a simple majority, and the vote was barely over that) march together in San Francisco.
Some news sources say there were a thousand people, some say 15,000. I know that the march was at least five full blocks long, and that a block can hold more than 2000 people (a full-length BART train holds that many people), so I'm going to say that the numbers were closer to the high end than the low.
I am very proud to have been a part of that, because I hate the idea of someone trying to tell me which consenting adults I can and can't marry, and I think it's a disgrace that California's think that whether my kid sister can marry her partner should be encoded in the state constitution.

Dirt: The Complete First Season
Enter the secret and salacious world of show business through the back door. Lucy Spiller (Courteney Cox) makes the headlines as the woman Hollywood loves to hate in the darkly comedic drama DIRT. As editor-in-chief of Tinseltown's most influential magazines, Spiller can make or break the stars. Her obsession with the seamy side of the entertainment industry gives her power over every celebrit
Dirt could use sharper writing, but it's savvy enough when it comes to parsing Hollywood-speak. A celebrity's so-called "exhaustion" is translated by Lucy to mean "rehab or a psychotic break." Dirt drops A-list names (Clooney, Britney), but for a series set in Hollywood, it's light on actual celebrities (director David Fincher and a self-deprecating Christopher Knight and Adrienne Curry appear as themselves). Instead, we get unconvincing fictional celebrities such as wash-out actor Holt McLaren (Josh Stewart), who gets his shot at superstardom by making the same kind of pact with Lucy that John Cassavetes made with the coven in Rosemary's Baby. Just one scoop begins a downward spiral for his sitcom-actress girlfriend (Laura Allen) and her best friend, an actress with an ill-timed pregnancy (Shannyn Sossamon). Also getting down and dirty are Rick Fox as a compromised basketball superstar, Wayne Brady as a cultured thug, and, in the season finale, Jennifer Aniston as Lucy's rival (and then some, although their much-hyped onscreen kiss is really much ado about nothing). An FX series, Dirt shovels on the network's envelope-pushing profane language and graphic sex scenes. It should clean up on DVD. --Donald Liebenson
