Totally forgot to factor that in! We'll leave my place at 8 then.

I'll be ready at 8!

Today's Thursday. Soccer day. I play every week on the public field, directly across from City Hall. Playing today cemented my decision as to where I want my voice to be heard.

If we go, and that is a giant IF, contingent on out of town visitors and plans that were firmed up before this was announced, it will be in the OC.

While LA may be moving and huge,OC needs a voice too. Both counties voted to pass this. Both counties have their pockets of liberal and conservative residents. Both counties need to know that legalized discrimination is not acceptable.

Did something in particular happen?

Let's be honest: OC is one giant pocket of conservatives with tiny little spots of liberals.

Can't answer for GD, but if I did some regular activity at a place that would later in the week be one of the sites of a protest rally I wanted to attend ... I could hardly resist choosing that location.



Or maybe he scored a goal and equal rights is his other goal. :cool:

I can respect choosing to protest in your own county. I hope we'll all be able to protest as a big group sometime soon, though - something about getting all of us there, and together, would feel very satisfying, I think. Even despite the pain and frustration of this battle.

No, just being there reinforced the point that it's home

I'd hardly call Laguna tiny. Or UC Irvine. Just to name a couple. Prop 8 passed here, but it was 57-42. McCain won here, but by only 50-47. OC ain't what it used to be, let's try to get it over that edge.

Eh, I think certain areas are more conservative than others. But I don't think it's one giant pocket of conservatives with tiny little spots of liberals. I'm finding that the OC bashing is getting tiresome.

Hahah, that's 'cause you're stuck in the O.C. :p




But seriously, we're all likely stuck in a past time. Orange County is less conservative than it once was, and our perceptions haven't caught up.


My perception was the L.A. County was unabashedly liberal ... and we all know how that turned out last week.
