The rain cleared and a gorgeous fall day energized our family of protesters. Here are Craig, Foxy, ex- blogger Tommy (shaded), Chris, Wilson Cruz, Little Nick, Paul, C and Eric. (Anyone know the name of the guy in the white t?)
Also with us was Wolf, your bartender this past summer at The Vault in Provincetown. He has recently returned from a cross-country trip in a SmartCar.
Diversity reigned.
I got to meet long-time Farmboyz readers Jeff and Beau of Harlem.
Wilson posed with a couple together for ten years who wish they could become married (and take Wilson on their honeymoon).
Here we find Paul Vitale and Eric Leven stirring things up...sort of.
The Playgirl van circled the park a few times, the implications of which are pondered by a watchful cop.
A friend of ours, Manny Xavier, recited one of his poems.
Seriously, despite a few dumb moments at the podium, this event, like the one at the Mormon Temple earlier in the week, really did give me hope about the future and I was happy to see a new generation rise up in angry declaration of intolerance for injustice. The faces on the tourists in the double decker buses reminded me of the extreme value of events like this. It was a success. It was quite wonderful.
