At the protest I went to in Charleston, South Carolina we chanted “Gay, straight, black, white, we all deserve equal rights.” We saw black men come out to see us, and put their fist in the air in solidarity.

Huh?
I plan on participating (and no, I’m not a racist, criminal, or racist in disguise) but please be careful in states where you aren’t protected at work. You could call out “gay” and lose your job. I’m lucky – I’m out at my office and they support what I’m trying to do.

Because of the nature of my work (court related), I cannot assure that I can get that day off, but as far as the rest of it goes, count me in.
Awesome. I’m in.
