I've hear from plenty more of you who protested Prop 8 on Saturday. We've got new photos from Washington, DC, Seattle, Oklahoma City and New York. It's not too late to add your city to the gallery. Send me your Prop 8 pics and check out the new photos.

I think a book is the perfect gift. Maybe it’s just because I’m a writer. They're small, easy to wrap and say as much about you as the person you're giving them too. We scoured the shelves for the best books this holiday season. There's sex books, a cookbook and a book of lesbian holiday stories. See if there's a book on our lesbian gift book list for the bookworm in your life.

In this tight economy, how shall we handle gift-giving? Personally, I'm looking for fewer gifts, but ones packed with meaning. I'll also be doing a lot more shopping on the internet, to save on gas and time. With that in mind, I hand selected a few items that I think will make great gifts for the lesbians in your life. Here's the 2008 Lesbian Gift Guide.

I admit that the passage of Prop 8 in California depressed me. And made me angry. But as time goes by, I'm starting to see that its passage was not the worst thing in the world. Because it's gotten people fired up. Hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets this weekend to voice their disappointment and anger over the fact that civil rights can be put up for a popular vote. Our allies, such as MSNBC Commentator Keith Olbermann, Christina Aguilera and Madonna and many others have all spoken out in for marriage equality and gay rights. And comedian Wanda Sykes used her anger and disappointment as an opportunity to come out. "I am proud to be gay!" Wanda declared Saturday in Las Vegas.

I can't say that I'm happy Prop 8 passed. No, the opposite. But I do think some good will come from this. What about you?
