After marching for miles and miles on Wednesday night, I can barely walk to refill my glass of water in the Cigar Lounge at the FCT in Frankfurt Airport.
A rally in West Hollywood Park turned into a street protest this evening, as gay and lesbian Californians upset over losing the right to marry took to the streets.
I don’t trust myself to say anything about last night’s election results right now, but I will encourage everyone to follow my lead and celebrate the small victories…
Those of us who gave our all to the cause of fairness and freedom know who we are and know we did our best.
I would hope that I need not remind you, dear readers to vote tomorrow… But in case you need a reminder.
I think watching this video clip from Trojanwire, I saw more of the USC-Washington game than I did on Saturday.
Yesterday, I attended the No on 8 rally and visibility event in West Hollywood. It was nice to see that the complacency which had defined the gay community in recent months is finally gone.
Republicans Against 8 have released their newest ad going into the final weekend, contrasting the legacy of Ronald Reagan with Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger’s position against Proposition 8.

Proponents of Proposition 8 always talk about protecting “traditional” marriage–but has anyone really thought about what that means?

Former Republican Congressman Tom Campbell came out against Proposition 8 today in a Reason opinion editorial.
