My thoughts... (reposted from lotusice's blog)

There was some kerfluffle today about whether marching in the post-election Anti Prop 8 protests was a requirement for being a "good" gay or for showing "enough" support, especially if you are gay. These were my thoughts, reposted here so I can find them and know what I thought at midnight in November 2008

Nicely put.

Every day, Every day. One fucking foot after the other. That's the hard part.

I love you.

There are a lot of reasons, but this is a huge big one of them.

I said this already, but YES.

Very well said.

Well said. One of the things I remembered in the time after gay marriage passed in Mass was that the folk who disagreed and actually knew gay people were much more likely to take a "well I don't agree, but so what" approach. (And really, I think the biggest thing that helped marriage stick in Mass was that there wasn't a window to vote it out six months later - over time people were able to open their minds. Good people living their lives does that, not activism. (not that I am knocking activism, but there is no substitute for familiarity.)
