BOULDER — Nearly 150 people showed up for a peaceful protest at Century Boulder Theatre on Sunday afternoon, according to protest organizers.
Johann Moonesinghe, who headed the protest against Cinemark-Century chief executive Alan Stock, said the group passed out more than 300 fliers about Stock’s $9,999 donation to the Yes on 8 campaign in California at the theater on 29th Street in Boulder.
Proposition 8 changes the California Constitution to define marriage as between one man and one woman, effectively prohibiting same-sex marriage. State voters approved the proposition in the Nov. 4 election.
“We had a lot of people who were unaware,” Moonesinghe said. “Many of them came and decided not to see a movie today.”
Boulder police received no complaints about the hour-long protest. The Denver Post
