Wait, you mean there are Black gay folks?? With CHILDREN?! *very loud sigh @ the way "gay marriage" has been framed by Black and LGBT leadership, as if these groups are mutually exclusive*

I had to go through the entire 131 pics to find them, but there they are. there was a mixed race couple as well. (granted, the pics repeat a lot. Its like they threw up all the pics that they took that day and some of them even have the same captions! I'm thinking they could have done better especially since there were 380 couples to choose from. Oh well, at least they are there!)

And as for the black and lgbt leadership FAILS in this matter...GRRR!!!

Well, this DC pastor (http://syndicated.livejournal.com/gay_news/5555602.html) has just spoken for how "most" Black folks feel re: gay marriage. The fact that he's serious, I think, is the most disturbing part. DC Black Pride is coming up; I think he should go and see how some folks there feel on this matter, you know, since he's interested in speaking for "most" Black folks in DC.

I'm about done with that BS.

[yana-ambf.livejournal.com]

hahaha Very understandable.

Wait, OK, just one final thing and I'm done: MARION BARRY (the crackhead? Yeah, him) has come out against gay marriage (http://www.towleroad.com/2009/04/marion-barry-declares-himself-moral-leader-at-antigay-dc-protest.html), calls himself a "moral leader." OK, *now* I'm done.

(Sorry, couldn't resist sharing that!)

This photo made me so happy.

(I spent 15 minutes looking for this post on your DW journal to comment on. Are you not crossposting everything?)

[unusualmusic.livejournal.com]

No, I'm not. I did intend to crosspost this one, but I forgot. Sorry. Will crosspost in a bit...

[deepad]

NP. So then I should be keeping your LJ on my reading list, as well as the DW one?

(I am trying to streamline stuff in anticipation of switching over to DW)

[unusualmusic.livejournal.com]

you probably should. I am trying to sort of make my dw more intimate, a bit more about me. there will be crossposts, but there will be much original content on it. Thats the plan.
