More than 1,500 New Yorkers gathered today in Manhattan to mourn the death of a 32 year-old gay man, who was shot down on Friday just blocks away from the historic Stonewall Inn in an apparent act of anti-gay bias.
Media Reports on Threats Made by Proposition 8 Supporters

They demand that those who have donated to the “No on 8” campaign give a donation of a “like amount” to support the amendment, or face consequences.
"It's truly an outrageous attempt to extort people," said Geoff Kors, the executive director of Equality California.
