Sadly, “CULT OF HATE – Bring your magic underwear” might not all fit, though.

A few years ago, protesters in Washington DC used this approach when the Corcoran Museum backed out of a plan for a Mapplethorpe exhibit. The protesters projected the Mapplethorpe images on the exterior of the building!

Keep doing this every night until the Courts toss Prop 8 and politicians get enough spine to remove their tax exempt status.

Oh and the Mittster can kiss 2012 goodbye …

The LAPD also kept the yes on 8 counter demonstrators away from the equal rights marchers.

The march’s organizers, the L.A. Coalition for Equal Marriage Rights and the Answer Coalition, did not apply for a permit, police said. The protest closed Sunset between Fountain and Sanborn avenues for about two hours as marchers moved west on Santa Monica, north on Vermont Avenue, then east on Hollywood Boulevard back to Silver Lake. Later a smaller group headed toward Hollywood.

Last night and Thursday at the Mormon Temple gave me an added insight into the LAPD and how they are really trying to be balanced and fair–though granted no one is throwing things at them at these demonstrations, there is no desire to torch a McDonalds, and they had a number of officers with video cameras as observers recording field operations at both demonstrations to make sure that there was accountability.

I may be just very Pollyannish, or have only had over all good or neutral experiences with my local cops, but I feel that the LAPD really does want to improve their image and their relationship with the citizenry–and their behavior last night..thanking the crowd for their patience, saying “please move back” instead of ordering shows this willingness…maybe it was just the crowd which sets the mood–and the crowd as outraged at PropH8, but not angry at authority. There was good communication, willingness on BOTH sides to make this happen.

The LAPD was doing their job: Supporting the right to free speech and free assembly–which effectively shut down Hollywood Blvd with 7 to 10 thousand people marching 3 miles on one of the city’s busiest weekend streets.
