The ball is rolling

I spent last night at LGRL (www.lgrl.org) calling people on their volunteer list, requesting them to call their State Senators and Representatives about the SB6 thing. The sad thing is that we are all in Sen. Gonzalo Barrientos district, who already came out strongly against the amendment, and most of the Reps in this area are supportive as well. They are still going to get swamped with calls.

Holly is going to the noon protest at the Capital. I can't get off work, but our (straight) next door neighbor is going and she'll help with the twins. Holly is a little nervous. She did the whole gay activist thing in college, but we've both sort of changed gears and settled down into parenthood in suburbia. I guess this proves that you can never let your guard down.

Both of us, if we can get a babysitter, are going to be on the radio tonight. Holly will go alone if we can't get a sitter.

Last night, Holly and I talked about how great it feels to have so many people come to our defense - gay and straight, parents and not, even famous, like Rosie. The warm feeling helps balance out the cold fear. But, we will survive this. We will win. We have to, because we aren't going to lose our kids.
