I was not at the National Equality March but I know many Interstate Q readers were. Here’s the space to share your experience, process the event, and ask questions.
I’m looking forward to all of the insight!

Open Discussion: National Equality March
Get non-violence training before NYC rally this Saturday!
Join The Impact NYC Rally
As you may have heard, a grassroots movement called Join The Impact has sprung up in the days since the election to organize rallies in every state in the union on Saturday November 15 for the cause of LGBT equality. A gathering in New York [...]
Voices From the Right
While the GOP has done much to hinder equality for LGBT Americans, it’s nice to be reminded that there are also Republicans taking a stand for us. Here are some recent quotables:

About a month ago I remarked, “Will this race end already?!?!” John McCain had secured the GOP nomination and I saw the continued Democratic primary as self-destructive and distracting. The Republicans have been gearing up for the General Election while the Democrats “drag this out.” I was annoyed and just a little [...]
We Are Listening
Disclaimer: I went to film school. I also work in television. That should help explain why many of my posts revolve around videos: I can’t get enough. The following is a video that I wish was never made, that we lived in a world devoid of such source material. But that [...]
Ellen Speaks Out
With more composure than I could probably muster, Ellen reminds her viewers that something is terribly wrong. “It starts with jokes, becomes verbal abuse, becomes physical abuse and then Brandon kills his fellow eighth grade classmate just because Larry is gay.”
Thanks NG for the tip.
