new blacklava "prop h8" shirt

My man Ryan, the guy behind empowerment apparel company Blacklava, tells me he's got a new t-shirt design in protest of the passage of Proposition 8, California's same-sex marriage ban: Prop H8. There's also a women's version of the shirt. Printed on high-quality American Apparel shirts, he's selling them at the crazy cheap price of $9.95 because he believes in this cause. You'll also get a free 1" button with your order.

Meanwhile, last week, five civil rights groups asked California's highest court to annul the same-sex marriage ban on the grounds that Proposition 8 threatens the legal standing of all minority groups, and not just gays: Minority groups ask to annul gay marriage ban.

The NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Mexican-American Legal Defense Fund, Asian Pacific American Legal Center and two other groups petitioned the state Supreme Court to issue a stay preventing the ban from taking effect. The Supreme Court has not yet indicated whether it'll take up legal challenges to Proposition 8.
