Hey gang,
So on the agenda are many more protests. People have been wondering, what's the point? And I think I've got the answer. It's our coming out party. And like the coming out process we start with those closest to us and work our way out. I see this to be the geographical plan thus far. We began in West Hollywood - home. Next is Silverlake. Some ask, why not Pasadena? I would ask the same. But now I kind of get why Silverlake. The residential make up is very gay, but more so gay friendly. The young hipsters that inhabit this section of Los Angeles are with us I believe in spirit. Now we need to get them to step out with us, be a part of our physical numbers. We need to grow the movement. The gay population, being a minority has only so many people to march. So I ask that every GLBT person attending a protest bring a straight ally. We need everyone that believes in equal rights to use their voice at this time in our US History. Hopefully like hate, love too can be contagious.

The key here is visibility. The more we protest, the more press we get, and the wider the press net spreads. We need to get out of WeHo, but a lot of people are reluctant to do so because WeHo is safe. Which is exactly why we need to get out (and why we ought to have gotten out prior to Tuesday). This is only the start of what has to become a nationwide movement. Hopefully there will be less militant angry protesters, because the only way we're going to get people on our side is showing LOVE with our anger. Civil, non-violent disobedience.
