Just Licensed! And Just Back from a Rousing Marriage Equality Meeting with Kate Kendell
Buffy and I are all set to go with our wedding plans, in the eyes of the Golden State: We got our marriage license today.
I’ll tell you about it tomorrow, as it was really a good experience; our interactions with total strangers today were very encouraging.
Right now, I’m too tired to write much; we just got back from a two-hour meeting at the Billy DeFrank Center, led by Kate Kendell of the National Center for Lesbian Rights and Andy Wong of API Equality, who shared the game plan for defeating the November ballot initiative to strip us of our equality.
I’ll do a core dump on the meeting tomorrow, too; for now, I’ll just say the place was packed, the crowd was full of questions — and deeply committed to beating back the bigots — and we left exhausted but energized, galvanized, and full of information and ideas.
This is exactly the sort of leadership and plan we’ve been needing, and I feel VERY good about our chances in November.
Right now, I need to kick back, read over some literature, and decompress. In the meantime, please visit Equality for All, right now, while you’re thinking about it, and see what you can do to help us secure marriage equality in California.
That means you out-of-staters too, ya know. Remember, as California goes…!
