Re: Which Protest Are You Going To Go To-Sat -Nov

What a day to be proud of: a peaceful day of civil rights protests that will be an important moment in history: over 300 hundred cities and 9 countries. I hope that all of those that attended found it to be as inspiring as I have. Please keep up the fight for full equality.

Over the long term, I really do believe that this will save lives. When gay people are treated as human beings that deserve the same rights as everyone else, it will make it harder for parents to kick out their children or disown them for being gay, which means less teen homelessness. I also hope that it will mean less suicide attempts by gay people and that it will become unacceptable to treat gay people as being less than human or lesser humans. The sooner we get equality and fairness, the better.

Glad to hear it. I went to the one in downtown LA. My neighbor wooks in little tokyo and has a parking space over there, which is only 2 blocks away from city hall.

I hear that there is another protest in Pasadena on Sunday.

I just got back from the local gathering here. Estimated group of about 150.

Highlight of the evening: some car as they passed by threw a soda out the window and almost hit me and my mom. Sad part was it was a full soda. Such a waste.

(***Jealous***) So awesome that your mom went.
