So proud of people standing up to hate!
Wow, I wish I was there!! Such a strong vibe, even through the medium of the computer!!!
Fantastic slideshow! I’m sad I’m at work and can’t be there. I miss being a college student.
Favorite sign: “OH NO YOU DI-INT!”
Shameless self-promotion

And Karri says “The gays make the best signs ever.”
Who is your picket sign consultant? I may want to hire them for my next protest!
Nothing says Spring like a good old-fashioned protest march on the Capitol with some faaabulous picket signs…sigh…
Very moving and inspiring overall.
I can’t help also being disappointed by the few seriously counterproductive messages, like: “My gay friend can beat up your straight politician.”
Feeding anti-gay stereotypes that we are vulgar and sexually obsessed with messages like: “Stop stalking my coochi, Cucci” and “Gay men don’t like Cucci.” These messages work against us as well.
