Reacting to Wednesday morning's news that California's Prop. 8 has likely passed and eliminated same-sex marriage in the state, a crowd of some 2,000 protesters took to the streets Wednesday evening, marching down West Hollywood's Sunset Strip and backing up traffic for blocks.
In Hollywood at least two other groups marched in protest. One group marched more than two miles from West Hollywood to Hollywood, passing the CNN tower and the Arclight theater. Another group took to the Hollywood and Highland shopping complex. Local news crews are reporting that a few arrests have been made. Los Angeles's CW affiliate reported that three police officers had taken their billy clubs to a man who jumped on the hood of a cop car.
