stakebaitIf one person, just one person does it they may think he's really sick and they won't take him. And if two people, two people do it, in harmony, they may think they're both faggots and they won't take either of them. And three people do it, three, can you imagine, three people walking in singin a bar of Alice's Restaurant and walking out. They may think it's an organization. And can you, can you imagine fifty people a day, I said fifty people a day walking in singin a bar of Alice's Restaurant and walking out. And friends they may thinks it's a movement.
And that's what it is.

And Arlo sez:
We are making the news tonight
All over the world
Because we know that what we do is right
All over the world
Every body walking hand in hand
All over the world

Date: 2004-02-20 09:21 pm (UTC)And the news is good too. I don't have much use for marriage personally, but I think/believe everybody who feels otherwise should be able to marry where they will.

Date: 2004-02-21 12:06 am (UTC)I live in a very small town in WY. Yesterday, saw two bumper stickers on the car in front of me. One:
In case of rapture, the car is yours!
Which didn't bother me, cause it's an attempt to be cute. The other?
Marriage = (stick figure of man) + (stick figure of woman)
It really is an uphill battle in places like my town. Where most of the good townsfolk figure they've never even met a gay person. (They probably have, but the person wasn't out because of the reaction they'd receive.) Gay? That's something that happens in the city.
::sigh::

Date: 2004-02-21 02:44 am (UTC)I know these licenses aren't binding at the state level (at least not until Massachusetts gets into play) or at the federal level, but wow, as a burgeoning campaign of civil disobedience this is neat to watch.
It's quite exciting, actually. It wasn't nearly this exciting when we got gay marriage.

I think all the differences stem from the fact that there's enough water to live there without poping it in from elsewhere, allowing for a greater pre-electric population, ehich has not been displaced by the air-conditioner-based culture, as epitomized by Phoenix. (Not that folks in New MExico don't use AC to the extent they can afford it.)
