As many of you know - tomorrow there will be simultaneous demonstrations/protests against Proposition 8 and for marriage equality. Protest times are staggered by time zone, making this the very first time in the history of our nation that LGBT people (and our straight allies) will be speaking out in every major city in every state at the SAME TIME. Go to JoinTheImpact to find the location of the nearest protest.
I have heard from a number of you, saying that you plan on going. That is fucking AWESOME. Just showing up is half the battle. Those of you that can't go - please be there in spirit, or donate time and/or money toward equality when you can.
For those Dust Bunnies who DO attend a protest - please take pictures and send them to me at daviddust@gmail.com. If you have time, send a little mini-recap of your event. If I get enough response, I'll do a "Dust Bunnies Take To The Streets" post on Sunday or Monday.
One last thing - I know I've been cramming Politics/Barack Obama/Proposition 8/Marriage Equality down your throats lately - but this is important. A movement is beginning that just may give me the same rights as many of you already enjoy. And I'm excited...
Damn, the only one in the area is listed as having no organizers, so I am not even sure if it is happening.
ReplyDeleteDavid -- I will be at the protest at LA City Hall! Will try to send you some pics.....

ReplyDeleteThat Bob is SMOKIN' HOT!!!! Wherever did you find him, dear?!? :)
I would love some protest pics from Vermont, if you could. Also, I have been meaning to do a Slingbacks and Syrup feature, but all this election/protest stuff is taking up all of my non-papi posts. I PROMISE I'll give you girls a shout-out soon.
XOXOXOXOXO
there are two events here in ATL, one @ the capitol building and one in midtown... i am going to the midtown one and will send along pics/recaps. :)
ReplyDeleteKayce - Awesome!

I will be there in Dover, Delaware! (Oh, I made a rhyme.)
ReplyDeleteThat last image looks like an advertisment for fisting. I'm just sayin'.
Mark :-)

ReplyDeleteUnless you were talking about a fisting... :)

Dearest David,
ReplyDeleteNo, I was talking about the rally, not the other act. My niece might join me at the rally. I don't think her boyfriend will join us, however. LOL
I will have to admit if there is rain, I might not make it. But if I do, I will be bringing my camera with me!
I'll cover beautiful Pomona, CA...
ReplyDeleteMeg -
ReplyDeleteI look forward to your pics and/or report. Thanks!
XOXOXOXO
Str8tup and I will have Houtex covered!
ReplyDeleteI'll pay attention and watch the local news and do what I can. Brendan is with me, so I won't make it to the protest. I'm there with all of you in spirit and will get involved if there are more protests. This one impresses me happening all at the same time! Can't wait to read about what everyone does and to see the photos!!
ReplyDeleteAs long as I don't party too hard (Ummmm. 10:30 am is ass crack of dawn on a Saturday.), I've got Berkeley covered.
ReplyDeleteThere is one happening in Baltimore. My God, it's everywhere. If I can't be there I'm certainly going to be there in spirit. I've posted a link to their site on my page.
ReplyDeleteDagny - Yeah, I feel kinda bad for you West-Coasters. I don't have to drag my ass downtown until 1:30 pm.
ReplyDeleteJohn - If you go, please send me a report.
Miss Ginger & Timmy - I knew I could count on you!
Joy - Your spirit is good enough for me.
THIS IS SO GREAT! I want to have a HUGE "Dust Bunnies Take To The Streets" post!
I love you guys!!!!
XOXOXOXO
