Comments on: Withers: Finally! It’s here! http://www.365gay.com/blog/100909-equality-march-weekend-begins/ The daily news source for the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community Sun, 21 Mar 2010 14:36:56 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: citizenzero http://www.365gay.com/blog/100909-equality-march-weekend-begins/comment-page-1/#comment-74309 citizenzero Mon, 12 Oct 2009 04:02:36 +0000 http://www.365gay.com/?p=10093#comment-74309 For those of you that didn't have a chance to be at this event, and the affiliated seminars that equality across america put on, you truly missed something moving. The seminars that were held brought our LGBT brothers and sisters closer than ever before, our minds came together to network (I'm talking about actual networking, not the "social mixer" type of sexual networking) and we met to discuss what the real concerns of the regular gays at large (not the hoity toity gays that attend galas). I don't mean anything either way regarding the big national names, because this weekend was a bigger success in spite of their refusal to endorse the march. This weekenend was about bringing our brothers and sisters together to stand for something, to show that the LGBT community isn't settling for the status quo any longer! If you weren't there, you didn't get to hear the story of the African-American woman from the Bronx that had just been diagnosed with HIV last month, but decided to leave the house for the first time since that diagnosis just for the HIV/AIDS awareness rally/conert that took place. You also didn't get to see the inspirational young LGBT's (they have another name that you'll have to find out through research online in order to find) leading the march and shouting down those protestors with dignity, you didn't hear that story and you didn't see that class. I want you to know that the numbers were well over tens of thousands, we were over a hundred thousand strong! I hope that 365gay will offer readers more information on the whole weekend, even though the weekend news doesn't hit until mondays, but they're understaffed and work hard for us all so we'll be patient :) I know what my story is going to look like for my site and my feature in QVegas magazine, but I'm looking forward to see how 365gay will continue to lead the online news community. I'm an optimist, so I'm hoping that 365gay will come through for the online readers. www.citizenzero.us www.qvegas.com For those of you that didn’t have a chance to be at this event, and the affiliated seminars that equality across america put on, you truly missed something moving.

May Withers see the hypocracy of his ilke attending a freedom march this week while writing this the week earlier! "Let’s say you are a little pork chop (if you are insulted by fat jokes move on, Boo. Move on). Let’s also assume as a bigun, you need a motorized cart to get to the potato chip aisle...." said by Withers. If one man is oppressed then we are all slaves.
