Prop 8 Overturned! Here's Some Anti-Gay Protesters Getting Owned (PHOTOS)

Proposition 8 was overturned yesterday when a federal judge declared the ban on gay marriages "unconstitutional." We couldn't be more happy about this landmark ruling and what it says about equality in this country, but there are some folks who are not so pleased about it. To celebrate the death of Prop. 8, we found some photos of anti-gay protesters being counter-protested with hilarious signs. While the protesters used a lot of fiery language and big, bright signs, the counter-protesters used irony, wit, and some strategic standing to show how silly the anti-gay protesters were. Looks like it worked!
