It is not just about gay rights; it is about equal rights; it is about human rights. It is about overcoming an obstacle and reinstating justice. This is America, the greatest fucking country on the earth. Its about reminding people of this fact.
In Idaho, and more than half of the other states Gays, Lesbians, Bisexuals, and Transgenders are not protected by the human rights act for fair employment, housing and education. So today my children and I participated in a peaceful protest where many people all over the state gathered and shared information about this subject, and encouraged everyone to help push the issue and add the words "sexual orientation" and "gender identity" to Idaho's Human Rights Act.
Still, the battle continues while people, everyday, are posting sticky notes on the doors of the state's capital building urging the senate to make this change. I am proud to be a part of this. When this issue changes for the better, I will be proud to look back and remind my children that they too were a part of this--until this change happens, we will continue to peacefully fight for it.
There were many rallies across the state, with a few I went to and one just a few minutes from my house (which I did not make it to because getting up before noon is hard lol), one in down town nampa, and one at the state capital building in boise.


this is representative Cherie Buckner Webb, who started her speech off by belting out some "born this way" by Lady Gaga...and I have to say, she does Gaga better than Gaga does Gaga! It was amazing!
The girl in the blue shirt..watch out for her. Only 17 and already making a difference for gay students, and adults everywhere. She brought up something in her speech that really irks me when I hear people say it-- she said that when she came out so many people told her she was too young to know if she was gay. Why doesnt this same rule apply to straight teens/kids? Wouldnt they also be too young to know if they are straight? But you never hear people questioning them. Anyways, I am very proud of her for making a change in the world.
I will add more pictures that I take from tomorrow news paper!
