I am at the AZ State Capitol with roughly 200 people right now... [View all]

The crowd is growing by the minute. The Facebook event has 1100 RSVPs. In about an hour we will begin our march around the capitol in protest of SB1062.

The Arizona legislature is resisting against an unstoppable tide of national support for gay rights. But their efforts are futile. We refuse to let religious zealots control the dialogue in this state.

We're here
We're queer
Fucking get used to it already!

Update: The protest was a huge success. I'd say at least a couple thousand supporters showed up. We had half a dozen state senators and representatives who voted against the law speak to the crowd as well as the gubernatorial candidate Fred DuVal.
