From "No on Gay" to "We are not preaching hate towards the gay community" in 5 deceitful steps!

The LA rally today was phenomenal. HUGE turnout. I have yet to hear a final count on the numbers. But as I was leaving (about 1pm or so) people were still arriving to march.

I had a perfect spot. I was at the very front of the crowd that gathered around the stage. I was against the railing even. Dead center. The Mayor showed up for a short bit. I'm glad he showed up even with the fires going on. He left the rally to hop on a helicopter to go back to one of the fire areas.

I have a ton of pictures. Not sure how any of them turned out yet.

I did manage to run into alphabg, iSm and Isaac.

And, of course, being a dinglecheese, I left my phone in the car at the Universal metro station parking lot. So when I got to City Hall... I realized I had no phone. So I just went to the front of the crowd and cheered the speakers on. Lots of cameras all over the place.

I left early because I did not have water, didn't eat breakfast and was tired.

I'm so glad I went!
