Steps

This afternoon, I climbed the massive steps of City Hall to demonstrate my support for gay marriage ... well, I didn't show my support by climbing the steps ... I showed my support by being there ... standing there ... occasionally shouting ... and clapping a lot. I'm actually very proud that people are organizing, planning, and being smart about it. In my mind, it was quite a successful showing for such short notice.


Now, I need to figure out how I can swing getting to work late on Thursday so I can go to the massive demonstration at 8 in the morning. This is important ... and I am reminded just how important this fight is on a daily basis. Today, the realization came when I read Rev. Gregory Daniels's comment:

If the K.K.K. opposes gay marriage, I would ride with them.

If anyone out there has any doubt that this battle for civil rights is not about the incredible hatred of homosexuals in this country, they have only to read the words of this black conservative minister one more time. Wow, isn't religion a great thing?
