In a move that shows how much more resourceful and mirthful GLBT activists are than their self-righteous opponents with the funny underwear, the L.A. Gay and Lesbian Center has raised over $60,000 since the election to invalidate Prop. 8--and each of their 2,300 world-wide donors did it in the name of Thomas Monson, head of the Latter-Day Saints.

Today's rally and protest over the passage of Proposition 8 has spilled into the streets of West LA and Westwood leading to erratic closures. The 405 north and south exit ramps are closed at Santa Monica Blvd, which remains a parking lot. The protest began at the Mormon temple at 2 p.m. where the crowd swelled into the thousands before taking to the streets. The protesters marched westbound from the Mormon temple to Veteran, then east on Wilshire to Santa Monica where a gathering continues outside the Mormon temple.

Hundreds of people gathered for a 2 p.m. press conference at the Mormon temple on Santa Monica Blvd. at Overland (map) where LA Gay & Lesbian Center CEO Lorri L. Jean announced the launch of a new website, http://invalidateprop8.org/.
