It is our job now to make sure that no proposition 8 type initiative is used or any constitutional convention formed to write hate legislation into law. We should follow Connecticut's example, it did a fantastic job in getting marriage equality passed. There is no reason why New York can't either.

However, a big group from my church gathered at my place that morning to make signs for the protest. About 25-30 people from my congregation (lgbtt and allies, of all ages!) joined the protest and I am so proud to be part of this historic times!

This needs to keep on going; the people behind Prop 8 are aiming at NY and NJ next. The future looks kind of bleak right now, and these rallies give us strength to feel together as a community and then go out as individuals to keep trying to change minds.

We need the same rights as others have Whatever it takes we need to stop further propositions for cropping up against us. It is our futuer at stake.

Hopefully the new generation won't make the same mistakes my generation made. When Scott Hightower spoke and omitted the T out of LGB, he got some uh-oh's from the crowd. The guy who called for the cell phone activism was someone associated with the film Poster Boy, I think. Yeah, I agree, it was pretty awesome.
