A Tale of Two Marches ....

TODAY IS THE DAY !
The gays are going down.

Spent my morning watching the National Organization's for Marriage's MUCH ballyhooed and promoted MARCH ON WASHINGTON! ALL the powers that be were behind this one, Newscorp and the Catholic Church - and oddly, the Moonies.  The Moonie owned Washington Times had a huge multi page pull out on the march just this week - Tens of thousands, if not hundred of thousands of folks are on the way......

Yeah, not so much ...

 Even the paper that backed it, The Washington Times, said " Hundreds "were there.  So again - THE HOLY ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH promoted this with all sorts of Arch and normal Bishops on the quickly slapped together stage, talking about abortion ( really, most of this rally was pro life....WHEN it was in English ). 
In October of 2009 Cleve Jones, one wonderful guy, decided that we - the gays - ought to march on Washington ourselves FOR marriage equality and THIS is what showed up.


Long time readers will remember that NEIL played a big part in this rally, there to represent the Episcopal Church - at least the gay part of it, and we got to be back stage and met famous folks!
