Join the Impact - Atlanta representin'
Got back from the Join the Impact protest at the Georgia State Capitol a while ago. There are some pics on my camera, but you'll just have to imagine them because I haven't pulled them from the camera yet.

I went with [info]dturing and we both held up handmade signs that we improvised at the event. Saw [info]gskreet and his partner, Bob Skreet, at the rally.

I have a pretty good picture of the two that I will upload later. I also have a good picture of [info]dturing. I met [info]howie at the protest and shook his hand. He was as cute in person as he is in pictures. I think I am developing a secret crush on him.

I held up a sign that said "No more Mr. Nice Gay". It was all I could think of. I stole the idea from somewhere online and I got some people taking pictures of it, so I count it as a success.

There were probably about 300-400 people at the protest, maybe more. It was a nice sized crowd and it was nice to see gay people actually engage in a political protest. I thought to myself, "This is what Pride should really be like."

That's so weird you said that - the Pride part.

We didn't go. I guessed that if we had, I would have felt the emotion that I sometimes did when I first started going to Pride, without all the debauchery that went along with it.
