A Few Thoughts Before the National Equality March
October 9, 2009
This is where I ate lunch today. Just over the hill from the Reflecting Pool and the Vietnam Memorial I found this quiet, peaceful pond with a vendor who sold me the best hot dog I’ve ever tasted and three separate flocks of ducks. It was the most peaceful I’ve felt in a long time.
Tomorrow thousands of LGBT people from across the country will make their way here for Sunday’s march, when they will become a single voice raised with one simple message: We are equal and we demand that the federal government treat us that way. Now.
The calm waters will be stirred in the cause of justice so that future generations may live in peace with their neighbors. It’s an exciting time that, Congress willing, we’ll never have to repeat.
Stay tuned; I’ll have more tomorrow.
