baby's first political rally!

[fuyu]

So I'm heading out to that nationwide gay rights protest tomorrow.

When the marriage bans went through, I made a vow to myself. I promised that from then on, I would take action. I would volunteer. I would give my time and make myself visible, because silence kills, and a voice has power.

I didn't know my first chance would come so soon. But here it is. And I'm ready.



Anyone else going to be going to one near them?

Tennessee wouldn't even THINK about having a problem like this because they laugh at the thought of even ATTEMPTING gay marriage, fuckers :|

But rock on! I'd go to a protest if I could.

[fuyu]

There's protests in Tennessee! 8D

I will think of you at the protest with love. XD

DUDE WHERE? They must underground XD

Channel your inner angry black girl, Lyssie XD

[fuyu]

Look at the link. XD It's a nationwide grassroots movement. There's protests tomorrow in every state, simultaneously.

...toootally didn't notice the states on the side xD

But boo, the closest one to me is a freaking hour away D:

[fuyu]

Yeah, I'm taking a two-hour bus ride to get to mine tomorrow. XD Just a couple months ago I'd have said "boo, too far" but...

[princealia.livejournal.com]

Rock on even more! XD

[fuyu]

So you should totally go to yours if you can, even if it is a ways out :D Especially in conservative places like Tennessee, allies are really valuable.

There's a protest in Madison tomorrow, too. I'm working, but still. Maybe they'll go past the store so I can take a picture. XD

Lovely sign. :3 Have fun at the protest.

[fuyu]

Yeah, it's nationwide. And haha, you never know. XD

Thanks. :3 I plan to.

[risingdragon.livejournal.com]

That is fucking AMAZING.

I hope there's one in DC soon. I'll definitely go.

[fuyu]

Like this one? 8D

[yamikaosu.livejournal.com]

That...is so awesome.

Both the going and the sign. XD

First time I've seen that site, too! ♥ ...I like how the protest near me has a time but no date. XD;

[yamikaosu.livejournal.com]

...oh wait. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION.

So it's tomorrow everywhere? GRAH WORK, WHY DO YOU HINDER ME SO. DX

[fuyu]

CURSED WORK it is clearly in cahoots with the opposition

[yamikaosu.livejournal.com]

CLEARLY.

REPRESENT ME TOO, LYSSIE. ;o;

[fuyu]

I SHALL THINK OF YOU ALSO WITH LOVE

[area-woman.livejournal.com]

It's my impression that they're simultaneous all over the country tomorrow. :3

[flidgetjerome.livejournal.com]

That's really gorgeous. Best of luck to all of you tomorrow.

(Man, and here I was bitching earlier this week that our most prominent gay politician was appearing on a reality show. This does give some sense of scale. >.<)

[fuyu]

Thank you. ♥

(...hahahah. yeaaah. XD)

[lazzchan.livejournal.com]

If there was anything close by in my state... and I didn't have work I would go. XD And I love your sign. ^__^
