The response from the Episcopal Diocese of Los Angeles to the announcement Wednesday (Aug. 4) that a federal judge had overturned California's Proposition 8 was swift and celebratory."Justice is advancing thanks to today's ruling affirming Californians' constitutional right to marriage in faithful, same-gender relationships," Bishop J. Jon Bruno said in an official statement.
The Episcopal Church, which has in recent years become one of the Christian denominations most supportive of gay and lesbian rights, has been vocal in its opposition to Proposition 8.
With the news that Proposition 8, the bill that banned same-sex marriage, was struck down by Judge Vaughn R. Walker today, tonight’s planned West Hollywood rally should be full of high spirits. And spirits in general. If you’re out celebrating, here are five spots to stop by:
West Hollywood Park: The rally begins here tonight starting at 6 p.m., with the dance party presumably scheduled for directly after.
The Abbey: The so-called “best gay bar in the world,” according to MTV logo, might be the hottest spot in L.A. tonight.
Millions of Milkshakes: Indulge your sweet tooth (and maybe see a celebrity or two) at the WeHo dessert shop, which features the pro-equality NOH8 shake.
Santa Monica Blvd. (All of it): It’s going to be hard to go wrong with any venue that serves alcohol tonight -- take a walk and see what you run into. Who knows, you may meet a future spouse.
Akbar: If the WeHo crowds are too much for your tastes, head east to Sunset Blvd.’s Akbar for reasonably priced drinks and a mellower party.
Update: In the wake of the news, a number of drink deals have arrived. From what we've seen so far: Santa Monica's Pourtal Wine Tasting Bar is offering an extra $8 on $20 tasting cards tonight between 8 and 9 p.m., while the RH Restaurant at the Andaz Hotel is offering a free $7 drink in exchange for retweeting a Twitter message. Organic chain Tender Greens will be offering $8 specials in its WeHo location.
