Tear Down The Wall / Prop 8 Falls
posted:
This just in: California's ban on gay marriage, the infamous Prop 8, was just overturned by Federal Judges! (article here)
I thought this might be a good time to share an SF Weekly cover illustration I did back in June for a story about how California's Prop 8 discriminates against it's gay citizens by not allowing equal application of spousal privileges under immigration law. In many cases, the law was forcing the deportation of non-citizen spouses, in effect using sexual preference as a wall between homosexual couples.
Thanks to AD Andrew Nilsen for such a challenging and emotional topic. The typography really made the cover.
