Prop 8 Protest in KC - pictures




A crowd of around 500 showed up at The J. C. Nichols Fountain to carry signs and listen to speakers in support of marriage rights for the LGBT community.



Kansas City Council Member Beth Gottstein spoke to the crowd.

She equated the legislation to homophobia and then noted that legal discrimination against the LGBT community was akin to racism, sexism and anti-Semitism.



Missouri State Senator Jolie Justus, an openly gay Kansas City politico, was greeted with a warm reception by the group seemingly huddled together against the cold.

3. Looks like a great crowd!
Rep. Anthony Weiner spoke at our rally. He's been a reliable friend of the community for many years.
