The anti-equality troops are marching today in DC. Let's be clear on what they want. They want to forbid LGBT couples from marrying. They want to forcibly divorce my wife and me, and deny any recognition of our marriage. They want children of LGBT families to have no legal rights. They want to prevent The Episcopal Church, The UCC, the Lutherans, etc exercising their religious freedom to marry LGBT couples. They want the right to discriminate against us, to fire us from jobs, and to refuse to serve us in restaurants and shops. They may claim they do this out of "love", but they do not. Listen, and you will hear the words of fear.
And over and over again, although they are a minority, they are given prominent opportunities by the media to spread their hate.

Equality March review (video)
Haven't talked much about this, and the way that the split between the angry grass-roots on the streets, and the softly-softly high gays in beautiful suits listening to the President make a campaign speech. Make it happen.

How do we get it across in DC?
I'm not sure I agree with a march on DC. I'm of the view that the money and effort could be better spent in the states, fighting for our rights.
On the other hand, after a grueling weekend where we learn exactly how Washington is going to treat us, maybe I should. What do you think?
