Meet In The Middle 4 Equality Rally Montage

Check out time 3.30 to 5minutes and 6:30

Video montage of the Meet In The Middle 4 Equality rally in Fresno, CA on Saturday afternoon, May 30, 2009 - the first Saturday following the date when the CA supreme Court published their decision to uphold Prop 8 to eliminate the right of same-sex couples to legally marry in what is likely as the first significant moment in the history of the United States of America when fundamental civil rights were taken away from a significant class of citizens due to the will of a simple majority.

The video montage was built around the following three songs:
- "We Will Repeal Prop 8" (parody of "We Will Rock You") sung by Molly McKay from Marriage Equality USA in San Francisco.- A poem sung by Alifa
