I believe the adage is "bloody but unbowed"------though people were sad, they were also angry and looking for ways to take the next step.<BR/><BR/>Speakers at the rally included the plaintiffs, the lawyers, reps from ACLU, gay advocacy groups, and my own group, the Religious Coalition for Equality, which hosted the rally and worship service.<BR/><BR/>It was hot and sticky in the church, but there were hundreds there for the rally and quite a few stayed for the worship service.<BR/><BR/>A marriage equality bill will now start making its way through the legislature EVERY YEAR UNTIL IT PASSES!<BR/><BR/>We did it with anti-discrimination legislation and we will do it with marriage equality. Time is on our side and eventually this will seem like a foolish skirmish in the larger struggle.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your thoughts.Lilylouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02328027965155428624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30312228.post-1153978093799055662006-07-26T22:28:00.000-07:002006-07-26T22:28:00.000-07:00And the ruling was so close, 5-4. What a travesty....And the ruling was so close, 5-4. What a travesty. And in Washington of all places. It didn't surprise me when the constitutional ban passed here in Kansas, but it's so disheartening when places like New York (earlier this month) and now Washington state don't see the light.<BR/><BR/>The notion, as stated in the majority opinion, that lawmakers are acting in the interest of procreation, rather than popular discrimination, is laughable.<BR/><BR/>But good luck to you in Washington who aren't taking this sitting down!kchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10598802301086823095noreply@blogger.com
