Oh man! What a great day for us! Though we did not have 25,000 or even 10,000 in attendance, we had several hundred GLBTQ and straight allies join together for equality on the grounds of Baltimore City Hall. The crowd was unanimously in support…not one anti-gay protestor was there! The speakers were wonderful! We had impromptu speakers like me (what an awesome opportunity) who shared their stories and celebrations on the open mike. An Associated Press reporter interviewed me for her article!

The energy was crackling! Though heavy rain and wind (and a tornado watch) cut short our event, two television stations had us on the news. After the protest ended, hundreds of people crowded the corners of Saratoga and Gay (yes, Gay) Sts., shouting “We cold, we’re wet, we’re NOT equal yet!” to a cacophony of supportive horn honks and waves from passers-by.

I told the reporter that while the passage of Proposition 8 was awful and horrible, perhaps it was the swift kick that our community needed to finally rise up to stop the hate and persecution. I’m very excited by the next events and the guidance that we as community members need to keep the fight going. Thank you to the organizers and to everyone who participated in this fantastic event. Justice and love must and will prevail…we cannot be patient anymore!

We can't be patient. We must tell our stories...even to those whom we fear...please tell us yours!
