8-10,000 strong in San Diego

The San Diego Police Department estimates that 8,000 to 10,000 people took to the streets of San Diego for a 30 block march to protest the passage of Proposition 8 in last Tuesday’s election. The ballot initiative eliminated the existing right of a single class of people to civil marriage.

Bearing No-on-Prop-8 signs, flags and banners, the marchers assembled in the gay-friendly Hillcrest neighborhood, noisily walked to North Park, and then attended a post-march rally in nearby Balboa Park. The colorful march drew gay rights activists, supporters and pets. Motorists and bystanders along the route wildly honked and cheered.

Unlike last night’s protest marches in San Francisco and Long Beach, there were no reports of arrests or problems.
