While attending the Prop. 8 Protest in San Jose yesterday, I was genuinely surprised and touched by all the families and straight supporters who came-out on a brilliant, sunny November day to join in endorsing equality and civil rights for all.
Watching the children happily playing in the fountain at City Hall, I could not help but think of that most memorable quote of Amos 5:24 by Martin Luther King, Jr.:
Let justice roll down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.
It seemed so appropriate.
It was one of the most affirming days I have had in a long time.
