I'm still in DC-- Kim's on her way home tonight and I'll be heading back to San Diego tomorrow, but for now I'm in the hotel, searching for news coverage of the march and fluctuating between the awesome high of such a fantastic day and the lows of the reality of our situation as it still stands (plus i need to stop fucking reading comments on ( Read more... )

It sounds like it would be an extremely powerful experience. I am happy you both got to be there! I look forward to hearing more about it later. =D

Oh wow, a gay rights march in DC! What a way to mark National Coming Out Day! Glad you and Kim got to take part in what sounds like a remarkable and memorable experience (if not so glad for the circumstances which necessitated it).

Have a safe trip back!

Your governer done good: LOS ANGELES (BNO NEWS) -- A move that went largely unnoticed by the media on Monday, California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger quietly signed a bill that adds new rights for gay and lesbian couples.

Schwarzenegger signed the bill, SB-54 by Senator Mark Leno (D), on Sunday, his office said. Leno's bill requires California to recognize marriages performed in other states where same-sex marriages are legal.

It's a start, and that's something at least. Rest of the article is here: http://www.bnonews.com/news/842.html

Oh wow, I've always wanted to go to one of these (despite being straight)! MAybe when I'm done with school and can have a life... provided this nonsense with "This is Armageddon!" by the religious wingnuts isn't over.

And I agree. I'm really disappointed in Obama over getting nothing done regarding gay rights. I hope this changes soon, but I'm not going to hold my breath.

You'd be surprised how many straight people were marching with us! It's really heartening. :) And you would be very welcome!
