And which side were you on, Daniel?

As for the photo, nice capture. Heck, even the fingers are symmetrically lined up!

Personally I am on the traditional marriage side, but I tried hard to take unbiased photos. I shot what I saw - no matter what side they were on.

I dunno, would have been better if you were in front of them and not behind. There are no faces or eyes here. As for gay marriage, well I see no reason why a gay couple cannot have the same rights as a heterosexual couple, whether you call it a partnership or a marriage. It's discrimination.

Good luck with your photojournalism, and remember get close, very close and shoot wide when you can.

Maybe we'd better stop talking about politics on a photo forum though, someone may come along and ruin a peaceful discussion...

No worries Daniel. Though the idea of photo-journo is to provoke thought and discussion. It's political photography to me.

Anyway it's unusual (though not unheard of) for things to get out of hand on photonet.
