I am one tired gay!

I hope you guys are calling your senators (state and federal) or writing them to let them know how you feel about prop8 and that they need to support marriage in your state!

Hopefully there is enough anger to propel this movement forward.

Either way, its been a rough week and I just want to give you guys some hugs and some love.

:loveya:

Here is where to find your state/fed representatives

8. Good on ya, Lioness!!!!
I've emailed one senator (Landrieu)- My other one is Vitter, so..... yeah, that'd be an excercise in total futility.

I'm already convinced that Louisiana will be THE last state to concede- even after Utah. :-(

11. You were a fantastic marshall. Keep up the great work!
Both NY and NJ are on the verge of passing marriage equality, so every phone call or letter written could be the one that brings that Legislator over to our side.

The anger is most definitely there. But it is up to us to channel that energy into something more constructive to make sure we secure the equality that we all deserve.
