The first foot foward.. This Saturday, Nov. 15
I just wrote ‘Something is afoot’ and Silph commented he wanted to know what that will tangibly look like. Well, I only have some half-formed answers and I’m working on them, but I do have the first step forward…
Saturday, two days from now, there will be a nation-wide protest against H8, in every state and city.
Enough of all this. Enough of the denial of equality, enough of the fear, enough of the silence, enough of the hate, enough of the absurd arguments. Just plain enough.
Go, find where and when the protest is in your city here: http://jointheimpact.wetpaint.com/?t=anon and then join in.
Better yet, make flyers and pass them out, put up signs everywhere, spread the word on Facebook, SMS, YouTube, MySpace, email lists, etc. If there is not a protest in your city, you better get cracking and ORGANIZE ONE!
If you are gay, lesbian, transgendered, there are few excuses. You are not too old, not too young, not too rich, not too poor, your dance class isn’t more important, your lunch date can be postponed.
If you are a friend, family or ally of someone who is GLBT, then do your best to please help us. This protest is your protest too. Our equality is your equality. Our advancement is your advancement. Please help us.
If you were upset or embarrassed by the actions of your co-religionists by this, please, please stand with us.
It is only a start. There are years ahead. We’ve worked years, decades for our equality… it’s time to step it up, it’s time to step up.
