I thought Kate's speech was absofreakinlutely terrific. It was exactly the message we need to hear.

This movement contains so many people of so many diverse beliefs and backgrounds. We are not going to agree on everything. But we need to stand together to make change. We need to check our egos and baggage at the door and bring our A-game of energy, love, kindness, patience, passion, support, pride, intelligence, respect, dignity, humor, creativity, and discipline.

Our time is NOW. Let's stand TOGETHER.

Chris & I after the Protest

Chris got all wet from the rain, that's why I gave him my jacket (dont want him to get sick) plus it was very warm that day 60 degrees. I made that sign~ cant think of anything...that's the words placed underneath our wedding band that, "LOVE CONQUERS ALL!" We got married 4 yrs ago in 2004!

If my post & photos can change people's attitude (yes on BWW! I was suprised to see some of you here that your facebook status on election night are to leaning on the FAR RIGHT~it was scary! ) on gay marriage to be more supportive and compassionate about the issue~I think I succeded for what came back for!

Just read her blog and I'm very impressed. Between her speech at the rally and Susan Egan's letter, it looks like this cause has brought out some very strong political statements from the Women of Broadway.

Thank you Susan and Kate for supporting us with your words and actions, after entertaining us so much with you talent.
