Hello, again!

Hey everyone! Sorry it's been a while since a post but life has been very busy for us. My excuses for not posting are that I have not had time or I just haven't felt like blogging. It's funny, we lived in Dallas for five years and our social life was pretty much non-existent, we've been here for 6 months and every weekend has been action packed.

Today, we attended the national protest against H8 with our pals Jake and Joe. Brad took some photos while I held the sign we made.

The weather was perfect for the rally, even if it did get a bit hot. We had to duck under some trees towards the end. Everyone was very peaceful and it was great to see such a turnout! Afterwards Brad and I had some lunch up in the Castro and while we were sitting outside on the patio we watched as a sizeable group of people marched up Market Street from Civic Center to the Castro. As of tonight, there's another sit-in at the intersection of Castro and 18th street disrupting traffic. Hooray for civil disobedience!!

Today also happens to be Brad's birthday so we'll be going out to a nice dinner at a restaurant we've been wanting to try for some time, Foreign Cinema. The food is supposed to be terrific and I've requested a table on the patio where they project old foreign films while you eat. Fun!! For desert, I got him a delicious cake from Tartine. I had wanted to make him some chocolate chip cookies as well but this heat wave we are having makes me leery about firing up the stove.

That's all for now , I'll try to be better about updating this space!

Greetings and Solidarity wishes from Los Angeles, where my husband and I rallied and marched for Stop the H8; it's wonderful to know that so many brothers sisters and supporters were all in unison, in the US and around the globe... a new Civil Rights Movement was born today, I have no doubt. Isn't it gr8 to be part of it??!!
Best love,
Iain

We represented here in New Haven. About 250-300 people, which is a decent size for our little ol' city.

Though we have same-sex marriage in Connecticut, what happens in other states effect us directly. Unless we never want to leave the state. Thanks to the Federal "Defense of Marriage" act our marriage status changes from state to state. In most states it would be null and void.
