Protesting vs. Planning: The Reaction to Prop 8

I think what's frustrating about what's going on in California right now is that it's a whole lot of people marching and yelling but there is no agenda. They're expressing their outrage but that's not going to change things. It's too late now... the measure has passed. There is nothing that protesting and marching is going to accomplish besides ring attention to the matter. But what happens when you get attention?? When I read and watch the news, what they are talking about is the gay people in CA that are protesting the passage of Prop 8. That's IT. They're not talking about what the protesters want DONE... because no one's got a plan!! So instead of getting people on their side, all they are doing is marginalizing themselves as the angry gay people in California.

I think that this is a fantastic article about what happened in CA and what to do about it:
