RVA Prop 8 Protest

Today was the nationwide Join The Impact protest against the passing of Proposition 8 in California. The even was organized almost entirely online, and in only a few short days. Starting at 1:30 PM eastern time, in all 50 states, from city halls to town squares, advocates of equal marriage rights, hit the streets, to show the world what we think! Here at City Hall at 900 E. Broad St. in Richmond, VA lots of people came out, there were young and old, gay, straight, families, children. And threw our signs in the air, chanting, and singing. We got a lot of support from passers-by, and all went well. It was very peaceful, and there was no opposition.

The horrible Mormon Church

This is an email I just sent out to Equality Virginia, as there needs to be action here in the RVA as well!
As you are well aware, recently Proposition 8 was passed in California, Thereby removing the right to marriage, which has already been enjoyed by some 18 thousand couples. The Mormon Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter Day Saints, was a Major financial contributor to the advertising campaigns in California, and a brief look at the history of this church would show that this is an institution based on hate mongering, and fear tactics. You may also know that around the country there have been rally's and protests at church locations, and I would like to know what has EV planned to do locally to get this message across? if nothing, are there plans to do something? or could you refer me to someone in the Richmond area who is planning something?
here are a series of links people ccan follow to take action forthemselves.first off, in order to sign the petition to have the tax exempt status removed go here www.MormonsStoleOurRIghts.com
If you are a Mormon, and are disgusted by the despicable history of the LDS church, and their continued fear and hate reign, and would like to resign, go here http://signingforsomething.org/blog/
and of course if you really want to protect the sanctity of marriage, then join "No On Divorce" http://www.noondivorce.com/blog/

Halloween Madness!!

Well, well, well,

Another Halloween down, and what do we have to show for it? How much does it say to work for one company for more than a year, and I cant get Christmas off? But I sure did get Halloween!! Thats just fine by me. Originally, I had planned to have a small party at my new apartment, as a way to really get settled in, Haloween being my favorite holiday, I made it my personal goal to be fully moved in, and have everything in order just in time for Halloween, and I accomplished that goal. As the time got nearer though, I realised that I should probably not have a party, so as not to disturb the neighbors too much, and so I scaled back a bit, and ultimately the decision came down to just having the party at Terri's house, and going on from there.

Needless to say, this plan changed several more times, at one point we would do a bar crawl, or go to the city to party hop, or start here in the suburbs, and move to the city for bars and parties, and ultimately, it fell back on me. In the mix, most people got fed up, and just made other plans, so I was left with a lot of uncertainty regarding who would actually come. So just in case, I employed the help of our party planner to the stars, Mckinzie. She worked wonders with our tiny budget, and my tinier apartment, and really made it happen.

The faithfuls arrived, Heather and Zack, a sexy vampire, and top gunner



Terri, as Alaskan favorite V.p. candidate, Sarah Palin. I should preface this one by saying, I was a bit reluctant to see how this would work out, and assumed this would be one of the more common costumes of the year, but I must say, it really worked!

Aimee came by as a devil in disguise, she had this fabulous masquerade-type mask on, but I couldnt get her to keep it on for a pic

Jessica, as a refrigerator magnet

McKinzie and Jason as a whore, and Brett Favre

And me as a greaser, lookin ultra gay as always

So we had appetizers and drinks at my apartment, and watched Donnie Darko, and Beetleguise, before swinging by the Sports Page, which naturally was dead, and the Caddy's which i had never been to before, rightfully so. It actually was quite fun, but the smokiest damn place ive ever been.

so here are a few more pics from the evening.
