I have no clue how many people were there, but the turnout looked pretty darn fantastic to me. I heard ABC’s channel 15 in Phoenix put the turnout at “hundreds of people”, but my husband and I both felt there were way more than just hundreds. Regardless, it was an event I was proud to attend, and I am ready for more --- as many as it takes to win.
I seethe NOT because my son is gay. I seethe because he lives in a country in which some elected officials find it politically advantageous to deny him dignity, basic rights, and protections. I seethe because there are people who preach hatred and discrimination towards gays yet claim to be "good" and "loving" Christians. I seethe because there are groups who claim to be "advocates" for the family but who work to do great harm to any family that doesn’t fit their narrow template for “normal”.
