DavidMixner.com: National Equality March on Washington: Are you Happy?
Many things have been written on whether one should march or not march on October 11 in Washington, DC. Let me make it easy for you.
Are you really happy with the progress we have made over the last eight months with this Administration and Congress? Are you really happy with the progress we have made on the repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” and Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA)? Do you think that the leaders of our political parties have embraced marriage equality and our God given rights, benefits and protections that come with it? Are you content, relaxed and happy with where we are at this moment in history in the struggle for freedom?
Think very carefully about the above questions. Then make plans to come to Washington, DC on October 11th to march with thousands of your brothers, sisters and straight allies for freedom.
I don’t want to be a hater, but I have my doubts about how effective this is going to be. Firstly, what does the march on Washington really do for any cause these days?
But my main beef is that, even with organized bus trips and whatnot, it’s kinda hard (i.e., expensive) to get to Washington, D.C., especially if you don’t live on the East Coast, and especially in the middle of a recession.
Do read the comments. Especially this one.
