President Clinton is scheduled to give a speech Sunday in San Diego to something called the International Franchise Association. Bad move. The location of the speech is a Hyatt hotel that has been the subject of a boycott by the No on 8 folks (that is, supporters of same-sex marriage) since the hotel's owner gave to the Yes on 8 campaign during last year's initiative campaign. The Courage Campaign, a progressive group with an an active Internet organizing operation here in California, is sending out emails and petitions urging Clinton to cancel the speech. Labor unions, which have been battling the hotel, also are boycotting.

The Prop 8 election returns are in, but the campaign isn't over. Opponents of Prop 8 -- that is, supporters of same-sex marriage -- staged protests on the west side of Los Angeles yesterday afternoon and evening., temporarily shutting down traffic on two major thoroughfares. Protestors targeted Mormons with signs and marched on the Mormon temple on Santa Monica Boulevard.

Perhaps the funniest and most interesting ad of the political season comes from the Courage Campaign, an online organizing group for liberals in California, which has produced its own ad opposing Prop 8, the same-sex marriage ban. Whether this ad makes it on the air will be interesting, but it's going viral on the web.

A couple has their "goodies" checked out by state "gender auditors." And, in an unserious way, it raises an interesting point. If there's a ban on same-sex marriage, exactly how will it be enforced?
