Equality and Justice.....

It was an EARLY day... with pretty much no sleep the night before, but a very fun and hopefully productive one. It started off with a good omen, a RAINBOW bus!
the powers that be there said it was the most folks ever to show up for one of these, the room is huge and it was overly full. We are treated very well by the folks there at the Capitol. Danishes, muffins, coffee and juice when we got there, box lunch and snacks with drinks through out the day.
Alan Van Capelle, Executive Director or the Empire State Pride Agenda ( the group that sponsors this event )  came over to greet Bishop Singh personally and thank him for making the trip. A very nice move.
The biggest roar of the morning was when the Governor walked out. Really, loud heartfelt applause. I am sure it did Governor Patterson some good, he is not loved everywhere like in this room, but he surly was here!
I loved this poster!  Not sure who this group was , but they were all over the place. Very John Adams
Alan Cummings was the MC for the entire event. Wasn't his first stint at being an MC.
Prince gave a WONDERFUL speech, he could not walk 20 feet afterwards without someone stopping him to thank him for his moving words , and just for being there.
It was a BEAUTIFUL , almost hot day
Really nice crowd.. very energized
