Saturday.....join the protest
GLBT groups throughout the country are gathering to protest.....finally!!!! The coordinated time is 1:30 EST on Saturday. Check Join the Impact to find out your location, and spread the word among your friends. Sailor Boi and I will be in Orlando. I hope to see you there--or send me an email and tell me how it was in your state.

From HRC:

"This protest is also a place for emotional release... a chance for those of us defeated by Amendment 2 to tell the world 'no more'. It's a chance to say that although Amendment 2 knocked us down... we are back up on our feet, standing united against discrimination and will not accept further assaults on our humanity. It's our responsibility to say 'enough'.

We can’t do this alone! We need your help! We need you to step out for equality. If you have plans…cancel them. If you don’t have plans... you do now! This could be the biggest outpouring since Stonewall and we hope you will join us and be a part of it.

So, bring your friends, bring your families, bring your neighbors... This is about GLBT people standing shoulder to shoulder with our straight allies and sending a message to those who have discriminated against us.

It's time for the world to see that we are a strong, adamant and powerful community that deserves equal rights and that even though we were knocked down, we are back on our feet and we can not be defeated."

It's up to us.
