Yesterday, we asked our readers to send in their photos from the various anti-Proposition 8 rallies that were taking place throughout the United States. The response was overwhelming; Jezebels from California to Ohio to Boston to New York City sent in their pictures, documenting a day spent fighting for love and equality. The pictures are striking and beautiful; in each of the various cities captured on film, there is a true sense of love and the desire to change the world for the better. A gallery of reader-submitted photos, after the jump.
