Some of the estimated 10,000 supporters of same-sex marriage marching to overturn Proposition 8 sit down in the middle of Sunset Boulevard to block traffic on November 8, 2008 in the Silver Lake area of Los Angeles, California.
Demonstrators numbering in the thousands have marched each day since the proposition, which changes the state constitution to outlaw gay marriage, was narrowly passed by voters on November 4.
When same-sex marriage became legal in California on June 16, conservative churches vowed to fight it and succeeded in passing Proposition 8 with the help of funding, much of it from out of state, that dwarfed that of their opponents.
An estimated 18,000 same-sex couples were legally married over the past six months in California.
