If you haven’t already heard, on Saturday there will be protests across the country to repeal Proposition 8, California’s discriminatory law that bans gay men and lesbians from marriage. Boston’s protest takes place at City Hall beginning at 1:30 pm. Don’t sit idly by, show up and fight for the civil right of marriage for all.

Bay Windows reports that MassResistance, which employs "documentary makers" who strip when being chased by police, couldn't collect enough signatures to get a 2010 ballot question on bringing back the 1913 law used to bar out-of-state gay and lesbian couples from marrying here.

The group needed roughly 33,000 signatures; it collected only 10,500.

The law was originally passed to block non-residents of different races from marrying in Massachusetts; Mitt Romney resurrected it in his battle against gay marriage.

Matt O'Malley, who twice ran for Boston City Council, reports he's leaving the sheriff's department to become political director for MassEquality.
