I was there

[caramida]

I went to last night's Rally Against 8 in San Francisco. It was a great experience, and I loved every minute of it, even the sore feet. I saw many friends and allies there, who were all determined to change this state for the better, returning equal rights to all who would marry.

I'll link to some photos later, but I just wanted to say that I was really pleased to have had the opportunity to add my voice to those who called out for justice.

I heard on KQED that they estimated that it was a thousand marchers at the rally last night. I'm assuming the number is only so small because they only counted people like me (heteros who could marry their loved ones if they want), but opted not to count the second-class citizens, too.

I wish I'd waited for you, but I'm also glad I left when I did, as we were within the first block of people, and arriving at the park and watching waves and waves and waves of people pour into the park was just mind-boggling.

KGO reporting last night said "thousands". Hear it here.

Wow, four days, and I'm already back to not showing up and feeling guilty about it. Is there a plan?

I think you're entitled to a break, man.
