Same-sex marriage rallies stretch across nation

In Los Angeles, thousands of demonstrators were met by counter-demonstrators. "There is nothing civil about a man marrying another man," one protester yelled. "You lost. It is not a civil rights issue. It is an issue with morality."  Meanwhile, those protesting the bans chanted, "Gay, straight, black, white; marriage is a civil right." JoinTheImpact.com, which organized the rallies, said events were scheduled Saturday in 300 cities across the nation. The events, which extend from Honolulu, Hawaii, to Key West, Florida, were scheduled to begin simultaneously at 1:30 ET. "We will come out tomorrow in numbers this world has not yet seen," said Amy Balliett, the co-founder of JoinTheImpact.com, in a news release posted on the Web site Friday.
