It’s Pride Weekend!

rainbow flag As Buffy says, we hope to see everyone who can get to San Francisco this weekend. Come up and introduce yourself; we’ll both be in our “Can I Vote on Your Marriage Now?” T-shirts. (We’ll give you a free button — offer good while they last!). Late Sunday afternoon, you can find us somewhere near the “marriage tent” at the Civic Center, volunteering for Equality for All. And we’ll be taking lots of pictures and video, which I plan to post to YouTube.

Other last-minute notes:

As usual, I have a backlog of comments that I won’t have time to answer this weekend (but thank you especially, BJ & Greg!).

I mentioned that that jackass John McCain endorsed the California Hate Amendment — what I didn’t mention was that he did it just a day after it was confirmed that he had had a “series of productive meetings” with the Log Cabin Republicans. LCR hasn’t answered my request for a comment yet (I have to give them an opportunity; these are the gay Republicans who didn’t think McCain was going to make marriage equality an issue… again — when will they ever learn?), so whether or not I hear from them by Monday, I’ll blog about this some more after the weekend.

Speaking of the Hate Amendment, the California secretary of state has finally numbered the propositions (from 1 to 11) that will be on the ballot in November, and the anti-marriage amendment is number 8. Excellent choice — “eight” rhymes with “hate.”

As I’ve been waiting impatiently for it to be numbered, I stayed up way too late last night designing some new anti-amendment T-shirts and other gear for the Lavender Liberal store. Take a look:

So, have a fun weekend, everyone — and see if you catch The Buff and me on news coverage of SF Pride. If they do find us camera-worthy, hopefully it’ll be because we’re just so gosh-darned cute. cheesy grin
