Join the Impact: We Marched in Jacksonville!
The rest of the pics are here. Unlike most other events I attend, I spent more time “present” than taking pictures. The stories from committed couples, many of whom have been together for decades, were both inspiring and heart-breaking.\ To me, this isn’t about whether or not homosexuality is right or wrong, it’s about allowing […]
Have you heard?
There is a national protest against Prop 8 on Saturday, November 15, being held in almost one hundred cities across the nation. This is, at heart, a civil rights issue and it is unconscionable that we are still treating some people as second-class citizens given that this is “the land of the free” in the […]

Two Awesome Things
Today only, Amazon has Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along-Blog soundtrack for only FIVE BUCKS. That’s flippin’ sweet! (Jen, don’t buy it, I already did).\ Also, this protest against Prop 8 in California is super-awesome.

No joy
I am still furious that the LDS Church supported California’s Prop 8.\ I am heartbroken that it passed.\ I am incredulous that the pro-8 people misled and lied to voters.\ I am disappointed that it worked.

Throughout the last two years, I’ve hoped that Barack Obama would be the next President. He’s the first […]
Hope
I just want to write this down so I remember it later. I woke up at 5:30 this morning full of nervous energy, thinking about today and what’s happening around the country. I’m excited, but most of all, I’m hopeful. I’m hopeful that Obama will win, and not just with a slim margin like the […]
Spare Eight Minutes
Lawrence Lessig provides a great argument against Proposition 8. It’s reasoned, has a sound legal backing (because, he’s Lawrence Lessig), and is profound in its simplicity. It perfectly echoes my own feelings on it, and does a great job of dissolving the rationale for the proposition without insulting those who support it. Great great stuff. […]
