It includes works from over 150 artists including LA's <a href="http://obeygiant.com/">Shepard Fairey</a> and <a href="http://www.scharwath.com/">Keith Scharwath</a>, all centered around the theme of equality for all -- bringing awareness back to the ongoing (and frustrating) Prop 8 debate. Since passing in 2008, the proposition has banned marriage between homosexual partners in California. Every single person should have the right to love and to marry who they choose.

I can't imagine what that is like. Demeaning? Maddening? Depressing? The weight that it must put on one's shoulders... <br /><br />It's time we stood up, together, through art through voice through pen, and demanded EQUALITY FOR ALL.

Grab them while you can..http://www.blogger.com/profile/17759309059487647407noreply@blogger.com0
