Historic Gay Marriage March from elma, CA to Fresno

We were up early this morning, meeting behind Fresno's historic courthouse before 7 am to be shuttled down to Selma, CA for a historic march for gay marriage and gay rights.

More than 200 marchers showed up from all over California, including Cleve Jones with Harvey Milk's megaphone, and the grtand daughter of Cesar Chavez.  The march recalled the historic civil rights marches from Selma to Montgomery in Alabama, and the leaders of the march paid homage to those earlier civil rights leaders.

The 5 hour march got started a little late, and was shadowed by a woman in a late model sedan palying Christian music and carrying a marriage = man plus woman bumper sticker.  We ignored her.

We skipped ahead to be here in time for the start of the rally, and the first of the marchers are just arriving, to great appluuse from the folks already gathered here at City Hall.
