4. Beautiful, ,man I almost wish I was Gay
I feel like they are the freedom fighters, I told my husband I wish we were gay so we could be part of the freedom marriages!!
My normally non-political husband is quite moved by the lines of loving couples waiting to be married. I wish I could be on the front lines, too---I hope there is a video diary of some couple Marrying for Freedom!!! :toast:

10. That is cool
And the quotes by Rich Daley--proud to claim that Irishman!

I believe the images of joy that have been on the news may help shift opinion. I hope so.

15. Hey, when's the last time
Sym and I have both introduced new flash stuff in the same week?

I'm not even sure it's ever happened before! This is a first!

(The reason I mentioned it is because I just refreshed the GD page and this post was right above the post for Sym's new flash.)

Thanks for the kick, Proles! Glad you think this one is worth seeing. It's not the usual rock-em-sock-em, but it doesn't need to be. The joy on those faces should be savored.

17. No, it is a departure from the usual
for you but it certainly makes a statement. I don't think you could have picked a better song.

20. Well, any kind of artist worth his or her salt
knows when an idea needs a "rock 'em-sock 'em" wrapping and when it can stand on its own.

16. I wish
that my partner and I could afford to hop on a plane right now and get to SF. We just don't have the money or the time off from work. :-(

If all esle fails we are talking about getting married on our 5 year anniversary of when we started to date in Niagara Falls, CA. I am hopefull that we will be able to be married right here in the USA! Hopefullly more locations will follow SF lead, the flood will be unstopable!

19. Very moving.
I don't know why the right wing thinks gay marriage is the end of the world. All those people looked so happy and there's nothing so beautiful as people in love.

21. excellent!

so nice to see images that really reflect the reality of gay people in America, as opposed to the 'cherry-picked' images of the most extreme fringes of 'the community' depicted in 'gay pride' coverage.

do these people really look threatening?

22. I don't get it, myself.
All these people want is the chance to commit to one another in all senses of the word - you'd think that would seem a good thing to 'social conservatives.'

But apparently, they'd rather rail about the 'sanctity of marriage' while working on their third or fourth divorce and boinking their secretary on the side.

Makes no goddam sense.
