LOS ANGELES — Thousands took to the streets of Los Angeles and San Francisco on Wednesday evening to protest California's passage of Proposition 8, a ban on gay marriage.
Demonstrators marched through West Hollywood, Hollywood and Santa Monica where several protesters stopped at busy intersections, blocking traffic and prompting police intervention.
An additional group of about 500 protesters gathered near CNN's Los Angeles bureau, where they were seen banging on the doors and walls, causing the Los Angeles Police Department to declare a tactical alert — requiring all available officers to respond to the protest — some of whom were brought in from other stations.
