Light up the Night for Equality
Next Saturday, December 20th, there are plans for nationwide silent protests for GLBT Rights. People are being asked to hold candlelight vigils at major commercial centers to bring attention to the cause of GLBT rights. Chanting and confrontation is discouraged, but holiday songs, etc are encouraged to raise awareness.

No on 8 in Austin
Here in Austin there is supposed to be a No on 8 rally tomorrow at City Hall. It's about 3 blocks away from where I'm at. Guess I'll wander down there tomorrow to see what type of turnout it is. Kinda strange to be protesting from so far away.
