Angry over President Bush's call for a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage, hundreds of gays, lesbians and their supporters rallied Thursday at the state Capitol.

In response, several hundred people gathered at the Capitol called the proposal to change the Constitution everything from "divisive" to "ridiculous" to "irresponsible." They carried signs, cheered their political allies and vowed to mobilize voters in Arizona to oppose not only the president, but also state legislators.



It was great to see hundreds of people attending yesterday!

1. WOW, I live in the area and I didn't know this happened!!

This is great, I think that bush* has been so over-the-top on just about everything that affects Americans that the people are finally starting to vent their anger and frustrations. I love it, especially here in Phoenix!!

3. Bush Foot in Mouth

What a surprise, today Bush said, "Marriage has served us well." But he quickly amended, "Marriage between a Man and a Woman." he was miffed because it was a speech with Gerhardt Schroedinger.
