Ok, so yesterday a friend asked if we were going to join in on this protest thingame-whatsy going on tomorrow -- evidently all over the country -- in peaceful opposition to the goings on in California. (prop 8 for those of you under rocks).
But I said we had things to do. We have yard work, and house work, and several projects in the midst. We have no time for protesting... and the last thing I wanted to do was stand out in the rain with 12 people I don't know. You know how these grass roots things can be. Small, underfunded, poorly attended. I just wasn't interested.
I even did a little research on the whole movement. For goodness sakes - it was a website started just last week by some woman on her lunch hour.
I mean really... call me when you have something real going on.
Welp, after gentle prodding by a blog friend, and finding out this morning that the HRC is now endorsing this nationwide event, and I hear that LMF is now on board as well... I'm listening.
It seems there may be something real going on.
Who knows... maybe we'll make some history.

YAY!!! I'm so glad you've changed your mind :)
Eating crow IS a weird saying.
I'm planning on going to one here in Colorado.
I have grave issues with HRC, their behavior is no where near as inclusive as they make out, but...
this rally/march/protest across the country is legit. wisconsin is having 3 or 4 different ones in different parts of the state.
glad you are on track with it!!
I am going to the one is Long Beach...the last one drew over 2000 people..and it was fun..so I will be there...plenty of sites with cool signs to print out. Bring a sign! Join the fight!
Whew...you had me worried for a minute. We will be doing our part in Seattle too.
