OK so like in three words because I need to sleeeeep, TODAY WAS AWESOME.
The crowd was huge and I LOVE being part of anything like that, the smiles and the hugs and the thrill of chants and the colors, SO MANY COLORS, I fucking love my community, and I took a ridiculous number of pictures (I'm talking over 800) that I cannot wait to share, and I loved every minute of it, even when the rally crossed that line of wayyyy too long. It was just such a beautiful event, in so many ways, and so many speeches made me well up, not just because they were sad but because of the energy, because of the sense of togetherness, because we will win this fight, because of the amazing desire to welcome and include and love. I almost feel bad for people who are straight and narrow, because being queer is seriously one of the best things that has happened to me and when I see and hear and listen to the spirit and determination from the queer kids, my generation, I am so proud to be standing there with them.

Not unaware of the irony of my "teh awesome" icon being the Obama logo, considering the great - and justified - ambivalence that the LGBT queer community has been feeling towards the President, but you know what - I'm still hoping.
