Coincidences indeed! I'm pretty excited that Paloma brings this up, support of GLBT rights is something I feel really strongly about (and if anyone in Austin is so inclined, I'm interested in attending Texas Lobby Day on March 2nd but want a partner). I feel like this is a situation where being a supporter is often a silent thing outside of the people we actually come into contact with on a personal level. I was inspired a couple months back to become a member of Atticus Circle , a group recognizing that as members of the majority, we have a unique responsibility to impact progression otherwise minority groups would never win fights for equal respect. Recently it lead me to a T-shirt project, Gay? fine by me that I think is great (though I wonder if it makes as much impact here in Austin, I'll make sure to wear it while traveling). I opted for the Gay marriage?fine by me T-shirt in hunter green, because the marriage/adoption rights issues are the current gaping thorn in my societal side.
"Whoa, heavy post for just getting back to this blog thing" ....yeah, sorry about that... um, yes Paloma, I'm in for Hey Homo!
I love my friends!
For your listening pleasure. Hopefully.

I will totally be your lobbying partner!
I didn't attend last years' because I assumed you would just be one of several hundred gathered around the capitol listening to some politician's schpeel. After checking out the link, I realize that you actually get to be a lobbyist! Can I get a "hell yeah!"!?!
I'll be calling you soon to discuss!
