National rally, part 1

This was so much fun. I was amazed at the amount of people that came out. I would guess somewhere around 3,000. It was a very uplifting way to spend a Saturday morning. I kept hearing the same thing. "I can't believe that it passed". No one really thought that Prop 8 would pass in California. In Utah sure, no one even blinked when it passed, but in California?
So, here we are now. Walking around hoping that people wake up and realize that change is coming. And from the other side I hear "But what about the children?" Holy shit, for all the talk about children you'd think that people actually cared about them. The children card is pulled out all the time.
If we really cared about children we would have a better education system. If we really cared about children we would want for there to be more couples available to adopt. Even same sex couples. If we really cared about the children we would teach them that they are loved for exactly what they are. Be that gay or straight or bi. One of the speakers said it just right. There just needs to be more love. Love for ourselves and love for all others. Not just some others but ALL others.
