The person in the above photo was the only negative in the entire day, at the March for Equality - or marriage equality - no on Prop 8 march. Incredibly, this man, and two bible-bearing women came from Michigan, to try to convince the people in the march that they were...what? Sinful??? Not Christians? Had more rights than he has? (I swear - that's what he said)...I have to say, he certainly had balls of brass, though he might have been just plain stupid. He was surrounded by alot of anger and sometimes hatred. My husband wanted to stay there, to kind of protect him,though we certainly didn't agree with him. While he spouted his nonsense bible verses and the reasons he was against marriage equality, those who were in the march surrounded him and shouted back. It was getting pretty ugly when a young rightfully enraged man started yelling that he was a fat old bastard and to take his fat old self out of there. He almost began poking the man. I reached out and touched the young man's arm and pulled him away from the guy with the flag tie and said not to respond in anger. The young man retreated...I was surprised at myself - that I had that much courage still for an old lady...But the rest of the day was superb and I am very encouraged by the turnouts all over the country.

to be continued with our concert in the evening - Joan Baez...maybe tomorrow

I love it!!!! It's sorta what people did during this election - lots of folks protested the right's trying to label Obama a Muslim by all taking the middle name "Hussein" - YES, I agree with this and would be behind it, for sure.
