Did you notice the subtle but gorgeous white-knotted-ribbons (for marriage equality) worn by some of the presenters and nominees?

Posted: 6/8/09 at 12:03amThat's why I wear a white hanky in my back pocket. For "marriage equality."

Posted: 6/8/09 at 12:05amI ended up focusing more on the conspicuous lack of white ribbons tonight. I don't recall many more than the ones Eug mentioned.

Posted: 6/8/09 at 12:23amI agree. Once there's marriage equality, there won't even need to be red ribbons anymore.

Posted: 6/8/09 at 12:23amI think it's white ribbon KNOTS ( as in tie the knot) that were shown but plain white ribbons are against domestic violence/ male on female violence @ least in Ontario.

Posted: 6/8/09 at 12:31amI was surprised that on TONY night, the Gay Easter, there was only one mention of marriage equality and it was from the STRAIGHT producer of Hair.

Sabrelady: Your definition of "white ribbon" is correct... but that's not relevant necessarily to this conversation.
I am referring to the white knotted-ribbons that were worn on the lapels of some of the presenters on the Tonys. They represent Marriage Equality.

See, I can't keep any of this straight anymore.
Which one means j.o.? And I saw a Subaru with a silhouette of a cat with rainbow stripes in it? Does that mean hippy **** or something?

Posted: 6/8/09 at 1:19amOh! So that's why it's the symbol for gay marriage. Cuz, once you're married that's pretty much it. Am I right?!

Posted: 6/8/09 at 10:05amWhat about the GIANT white ribbon on Lucie Arnaz's shoulder? It looked like it was eating her-what does that stand for?
