The View From Your Protest: Houston

Houston

I just returned from our Houston rally, and I have to say I am so proud of our community today. There must have been about 600 people. Gay, straight, black, white, young, old, married, single. But one community. One goal. Equal rights. The speakers were inspiring and the crowd stayed around for several hours. There were smiles everywhere, and a few tears when the mother of gay son spoke, with her son and his husband beside her. And then at the end, all the couples who had been married in California were invited to to the front. It was a unifying moment.
