VET wants to Marry.

One of the protesters was Tyler Johnson, 24, who was unable to marry his partner, James Temple, before the passing of Proposition 8 because Temple's 18th birthday falls next January.
Having spent three years — 2003 to 2006 — serving in the Navy, Johnson said he feels cheated out of his basic rights.
"I fought for our right for freedom and free speech, and we're all supposed to be created equal, but according to the law I'm not equal to marry the person I love," he said.
