No clue on this end.



Wish I'd had a camera tonight, there were some great signs.

A couple were about Separate Drinking Fountains for Gays ... one with great illustrations.

A really cute one with a picture of Sesame Street's Bert and Ernie emblazoned with the banner "Gay Love."

I think my fave was "My Pedophile Priest Supports Traditional Marriage."


Thanks to Ghoulish Delight, the one I carried - "What Does My Marriage Have To Do With Yours?" was a big hit ... but I have to wonder if it didn't make one too many cute single gay guy think I was married. Uh-oh.


I think I had the most fun in the first hour when we were all standing halfway in the street on all four corners of the Santa Monica / San Vicente intersection, waving hundreds of signs and chanting cool slogans ... and getting fantastic honk support from passing cars and busses. It was really high energy, fun and awesome.


After a while though, the crowd ended up taking over the entire intersection and stopping traffic on Santa Monica Boulevard ... which was kinda fun for a moment ... but stopped all the fun traffic flow, and undoubtedly turned driver support to driver upset.


Afterwards, we all wandered down San Vicente to the main program and listened to some inspiring and some not-so-inspiring speakers/

I got the feeling they were trying mostly to molify the crowd. And I didn't feel like thanking all the people for their hard work in a failure political campaign. And I didn't much feel like hearing this was just another step in the long march toward civil rights ... even though of course that's what it is.


But it was certainly nice to be among the like-minded crowd, at once warm-hearted and passionate, kind and angry. Very specially nice to be among some of my subscriber friends, and so touching to have Heidi and Tom there to lend their wonderful support. I am so moved.


Thank you all for you kind and wonderful support on this important human rights issue. The LoT of You are a Lot of Good.
