Prop h8

Here's a funny video called "Prop 8 - The Musical." It features a plethora of funny comedians including Jack Black, the Walk Hard/Stepbrothers guy, the Doogie Howser/How I Met Your Mother dude, the dude from The Office, a woman from SNL, and the tatt-ed up comedian chick, and more people I recognize but can't name who's past roles I can't place...

I think it is an abomination ("Obama-nation!") that Proposition 8 passed, restricting the rights of many Californians and further entwining Church & State.
The video does a good job of highlighting several hypocrisies of those who translate the Bible literally. Unfortunately the people who produced the video didn't think of this until after the election...
I don't know enough to understand if the amendment can be re-amended through a vote in the future, or perhaps by some sort of federal action. I did hear an interesting comment on NPR a few weeks ago that stuck with me, though. I need to paraphrase here, but the comment was along the lines that overturning the amendment (by way of all the protesting) would signal the failure or undermining of democracy.
