UCSD students walk out over Prop. 8

About 200 students and others have walked out of class at UC San Diego to protest the passage of Proposition 8, which bans same-sex marriage in California.

Organizers had said the event is an attempt by participants "to suspend campus productivity by withholding their attendance and participation in the hopes of demonstrating solidarity to the gay community."

The group is now walking off the La Jolla campus.

The walkout is part of a series of protests against the passage of Proposition 8. A march in San Diego tomorrow will be part of a series of similar demonstrations around the country.

permitted. It's aganist California law.
