SACRAMENTO, CA - The backlash over California's passing of Proposition 8 took to the streets of Sacramento and to the steps of the State Capitol early Thursday morning.
Between 50 and 100 activists participated in a silent march through mid-town Sacramento early Thursday morning.
It began at 12 a.m. and ended by 5 a.m. on the west steps of the State Capitol.
Between 5 a.m. and 7 a.m., demonstrators reinacted what they called "the battle," a live performance piece based on events leading up to election day.
Those behind the grassroots effort said the idea of the demonstration was to show same-sex couples aren't backing down.
"We're not going to go anywhere," said activists Jade Baranksi. "We're your neighbors, we're your sisters, we work for you, and we're here and we want our rights back.
Another rally is to resume at noon Thursday at the State Capitol.
