http://equalityacrossamerica.org/blog/?page_id=19 ^^ is link to page with all info and links on it Anyone else going i myself will be there with my lesbian friend they are marching on washington on Oct 11th i believe starting at 12am It is a march on washington to make a statement to Obama that he needs to fulfill his promises to the LGBT community Anyone else going or know anyone who is?
Usually I'm sceptical of huge gay rights campaigns like this being just another corporate advertising event, but this looks very grassroots and very legit. This is interesting too.
Yeah haha she made a video saying she's gonna be in the march and is encouraging people to come out over the weekend to increase visibility and the call for equality and such.
i was watching Logo channel and saw they where sponsoring the even (its funny because i have never watched it until my mom wanted to so she could watch the big gay comedy sketch show xD) anyways they are doing a bunch of equality based programming and then shutting off the day of the march to encourage people to go
I wont be going to the march but there is a local march/pride also being sponsored by HRC here that im going to try as hard as possible to attend.
I am going with my boyfriend and his mother, in addition to a group of friends. I think it is so important to keep up the public pressure on this issue. The larger the turnout, the better!
A bunch of people from here are going on that. I decided against it. D.C. isn't my favorite place in the world. And somehow I think it may end up being like a big pride parade which I'm not a big fan of.
This is actually supposed to be different from pride like instead it is supposed to be a very legit and political, not a dress up in rainbows and just your underwear and hump the air on a float, march At least from what i read for example me and my family are making navy blue shirts with the equality sign although i will throw in some tight jeans xD
[YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xR411ynzNsA&feature=player_embedded#[/YOUTUBE] Watch this. Near the end is a GREAT explanation of WHY this march is so important and what its really about.
that vid ^^ is really cool and the idea was awesome i have some cool updates and some sad ones on it for me 1) my brother said he would be uncomfortable there and wasn't gonna go so neither is his GF and my moms BF isn't gonna be able to go 2) however Me and my lesbian friend made some awesome kick ass shirts with yellow equal signs on blue shirts that where then sprayed with colored paint stuff and i did an awesome design on the back of mine
I really, really wish I could go. <3 Rawk on, to all the D.C. area people and everyone who's traveling there! There's a Denton solidarity thing happening tomorrow morning. Trying to decide if I should go to that, maybe.
IF U WANT TO FOLLOW WHAT GOIN ON AT THE MARCH SEARCH #NEM on twitter this is the hashtag people are using so WBC is already there spreading hate
Wish I was going, to those who are thank you and make a strong message that we are your family, friends, neighbors and coworkers and we deserve equal treatment under the law.
My sister is in DC today, she texted me this morning telling me she hopes to see some of that goin on.
