The March for Equality http://equalityacrossamerica.org/blog/?page_id=19 is so badly organized and advertised that I am now not sure we will go. The march itself is on Sunday it turns out (I was under the impression it was Saturday). I have seen nothing about this on CNN or any news so I really wonder if it will be more than a blip, if that. My right to legally marry my husband is VERY important to me but this seems like a real mess that may do more harm than good. Sorry for going on, this is NOT what my Weble is for. So here is art; "Initiation Right", 8 1/2 x 11, Acrylic on illumination board.
"Initiation Right or Rite?" did you intend the wordplay.
ReplyDeleteI like the way you hide most of his "manhood" with the feather fan. I wonder what kind of erotic rites Native Americans really had....
Being that I am a terrible speller and that I was upset when I posted it, I am sure it should be Rite not Right. And the Native Americans had alot more erotic stuff than you might think. However this was not really meant to be erotic.
ReplyDeleteTristen, I responded to your comments on my blog. I have received several emails in regards to the march as well as text messages. Maybe locally you are not very organized, but it doesnt seen to be the case nationaly.
ReplyDeleteI will agree that way too many people in the LGBT community are sitiing on their butts, but that doesnt mean I am going sit on mine.
If you dont like the message than you have a responsability to make sure your message is heard. Make a sign stating your oppinion and cary it in the march, but not showing up is exactly what FOX news wants.
Dan, it was your blog that first told me about this March and I still have seen almost nothing any place else about it. We most likely will be there even though this is seeming more and more like a cruel joke by the Right Wing. Marching at noon on Sunday, just in time to confront/conflict with every person getting out of Church! Another bit of very poor planing from my veiw point!
ReplyDeleteI appreciate your enthusiasum and gung ho attitude but I am 13 years older than you and have less optomisum than I did when I was 40.
did you take it upon yourself to post something about it on your blog? Word of mouth! If you read my blog I linked to the March web page that is filled with info.
ReplyDeleteYou can look for yourself, yes! I posted info about the march and encouraged others to go! That was before I emailed those running this and got no real response. When you ask for specifics and they just say "read the webpage" and you already did that and it didn't clarify what you were asking....those running this are just not doing a good job. If you were organizing this, I am sure it would be better done, but those in charge are idiots! I hope there is a good turn out but I have major doubts.
ReplyDeletewe can only do so much without true community. it's just so sad to see how much waring is going on with the factions of that very community inside there own walls. *sigh* tis the way of the human unfortunately.
