I'm glad there are people out there who are leaving their comfort zones behind and speaking up.

I was talking with my friend about this yesterday. I usually go to the restroom when "fan cam" time arrives at Ducks games. I hope and hope that they don't show our section during a TV time out. Yet I'm not freaking out about being on the interwebs or the teevee news. I am a bit concerned about my co-workers who attend Saddleback seeing me. I really don't want to think less of them

This is so important and I think when something is that important we forget our anxieties and just do what we need to do. I am so proud of you, and Aud for stepping outside your comfort zones as well. I know the protest in Lake Forest wasn't a claustrophobic crush with a slow march of people, we were able to walk around freely and I'm sure that helped with some of the crowd anxiety Aud expressed and I have.

One of the projects I am working on is contacting all of the marriage equality groups and letting them know that there are a ton of websites, groups, etc that are popping up all over. It's great. However, I think it's getting confusing for a lot of people. I think people want to donate their money to fight for marriage equality, but they are confused as to which group to donate to.
