   My pictures from NYC are here: http://www.new.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2005066&l=3a7f6&id=1054410163 (That’s a public link; you don’t have to be a member of Facebook to view it.)

   Probably by Monday my essay on the protest (my first!) will be up at pushback.org. But in short, I’m very glad I took the afternoon to be part of it.

   And so, by the way, am I!

   Yesterday’s rallies and the phenomenal online networking that basically brought them about have given me a lot of hope. A lot.

   I came away feeling a lot of hope, too. My straight neighbor is incredibly, supremely confident that this state of affairs just can’t last — I guess to her, it looks like everything is changing for the better very quickly.

   I don’t always share her optimism, being on the inside, but at the rally on Saturday, I felt this great surge of energy and I have to believe that positive, life-affirming change is coming.

   I attended the Prop 8 rally in Boston. Aside from the sound system being somewhat lacking (hard to hear the speeches), it was a great to be among so many like-minded people. And gives me hope that Prop 8 will be overturned and the federal DOMA will be repealed before too much longer. There were quite a few young kids at the event, some holding signs like “Toddlers Agains H8te”. Dana, I’d like to hear your take on when young children should be introduced to the concept that their families are discriminated against.
