Video: Drew Barrymore marches with Prop. 8 protesters: "I will fight with you!"
It's great to have one of "Charlie's Angels" on your side. At Saturday night's massive rally in Silverlake, Drew Barrymore joined in. Reports new Queerty.com editor Japhy Grant: Throughout the night, groups would join the protest as it made its way through Hollywood and environs. While passing through the Sunset Strip, the rally picked up everyone's favorite angel, Drew Barrymore-and paparazzi- who marched with the approximately 3000 swing shift protesters. As the exhausted but defiant crowd occupied the intersection of San Vicente and Santa Monica, Drew took to the microphone, tearfully telling the assembled crowd, "I will fight with you!"
Drew was not the only celeb in the crowd: also spotted was James Franco of "Milk," T.R. Knight, Wanda Sykes, Ricki Lake,Darryl Stephens, Peter Paige, and Wilson Cruz, among others.

Since when is the intersection of San Vicente & Santa Monica Blvd. in Silverlake???
My favorite poster from my intersection in Silverlake was:
"Now, can I vote on YOUR marriage?"
To clarify... because the media skipped this pretty much across the board.
There was a march and rally in Silverlake. After that march about 1000 of us marched along Hollywood Blvd (with the excellent assistance of the LAPD) to Hollywood and Highland where we staged a sit-in in the intersection. We then turned down to Sunset and marched along Sunset to San Vicente, then down to Santa Monica.
It was quite a gruelling endeavour that took hours to complete. It was disappointing to have the media pay very little attention, but encouraging to see growing support along the way.
