Since I cannot be there in person, I am sending letters to President Obama and Speaker Pelosi urging them to act on promises to the LGBT community in the areas of ending “Don’t Ask; Don’t Tell (just lie)”, hate crimes legislation, ending employment discrimination and repeal of the Defense of (Restricting) Marriage Act. I will also be sending a letter to my own provincial representative here in Canada on education issues.

We are all in this together. It is not a United States thing. It is a unified action by all LGBT folk for all LGBT folk.

Even if you cannot be in Washington, do something. After the defeat of marriage equality in California through proposition 8, our opponents think we are just limp-wristed queens who can be shoved out of the way. Well, the unified action of LGBT people by marching, writing letters, phone calls and petitions might just give us the chance we need to show we are the strongest willed queens since Elizabeth I of England– with the full hearts and stomachs to win the fight for equality.

WE CANNOT ALL BE IN WASHINGTON, BUT WE CAN ALL DO SOMETHING!

I’m so glad that we have all the permits that we need! This type of organization is exactly what legitimizes our march! Way to go!

FLAME ON boys and girls!

Obama has been invited to speak, but no confirmation on if he actually will.
