Hundreds of protestors march from Balboa Park to the Hall of Justice Tuesday evening demanding equal rights. The protest follows the Calfiornia Supreme Court's ruling stating Proposition 8 is constitutional.
Marchers carry signs that read "We want equality" and the California and Gay flags. The outspoken marchers voice their disappointment about the latest ruling regarding Proposition 8.
"This is a sad, sad day because so many others will not have that opportunities," gay rights activist Jan Garbosky said. Garbosky and her partner Bonnie Russell have been together for more than 2 decades and married 7 months ago.
"People don't understand how discrimination hurts human beings," Reverend Arvid Straube said and is the minister at the First Unitarian Universalist Church of San Diego.
Outraged protestors call the state supreme court ruling bittersweet. While the court ruled to uphold the 18,000 same sex marriages, but they say more still needs to be done. The nearly two mile march ends in front of the Hall of Justice where San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders unites wih his daughter, Lisa Sanders and her fiance, Meaghan Yaple.
"I'm tremendously proud of my daughter and I love Meaghan and my daughter Lisa," Mayor Sanders said.
Despite the ruling, the couple is happily engaged and plans on making their relationship official next May.
"It's not going to stop us from making that commitment with each other," Lisa Sanders said.
Councilman Todd Gloria, who represents district 3, reaffirms the fight isn't over.
"Stay with this fight, we will earn this right, we are equal citizens," Gloria said.
Criics of Prop. 8 are hinting that they may go to the voters in a few years.
"I understand that's the only way to change today's decision," gay right activist Jan Garbosky said.
Meanwhile, another rally is scheduled for Wednesday 12noon in front of the County Administration Building at 1600 Pacific Highway. Gay couple, Michael and Brian, will demand a marriage license. Friends and supporters will be there with them. They group vows not to leave until their request is granted.
