Throughout history protests have been the battleground for numerous human and civil rights. The energy they generate can re-write history and there is no denying that their social and political importance is necessary in all societies. Plus you get some really clever slogans out of them, complete with bad grammar and incorrect spelling!

Proposition 8 Protests, protesting the ban on same sex marriage, are taking place around the world today are doing just that: changing history (hopefully) and having fun while  they do it!

In researching Proposition 8 Protest photos I have found some wonderful tag lines that I thought needed highlighting. Due to the public forum they were presented in, first the protest itself and then Flickr photos, I am not able to cite the authors, but I hope they can agree that getting the message out is more important than ownership. And of course they are just so awesome, I got to share them!

So here are the top 13, in no real order because they're all good:

1. "As far as I can I can tell, Massachusetts didn't got to hell!"

2." For Sale- My Rights"

3. "Who do you think designed your wedding dress?"

4. "Would you rather I married your daughter?"

5. "Gay Marriage! What's next polygamy?- Oh wait..."

6. "Against Gay Marriage? Don't Have One!"

7. "Marriage is so Gay!"

8. "TO DO: -deny fellow citizens fundamental rights.

                  -buy eggs.

                  -pay bills."

9. "Gay is the new black" (I took this in the fashion and social sense.)

10. "Jesus had two daddy's, Why can't I?"

11. "You want 2 wives, I only want 1 husband!"

12. "Hate makes you look fat, just look at Arkansas"

13. "Keep your gospel off my Gonads"


I am more than positive that there are many many more than just these, so please share comments and photos!

I was proud to be at today's rally in Boston, MA.  My sign, "as far as I can tell, Massachusetts didn't go to hell!" got a lot of compliments.  What a great way to get people pumped up about civil rights.
