Over 100,000 people took part in nationwide protests Saturday to show support for same-sex marriage. The protests occurred eleven days after California voters narrowly passed Proposition 8, which outlawed previously legal same-sex ceremonies in the state. Some of the largest protests occurred in San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York, Washington, Salt Lake City, Seattle, Phoenix, Chicago and Austin, Texas. The New York Times described the protests as one of the nation’s largest displays of support for gay rights.
