January 10th - National DOMA Protest

I don't know much more information yet, but

JANUARY 10TH IS A NATIONAL DOMA PROTEST

If you're reading this, you can't claim you didn't know.

In the United States, the I.R.S. does not prevent you from filing joint taxes for your same sex spouse. The Social Security Administration does not prevent you from filing survivor benefits for your same sex spouse. These benefits and others are blocked due to DOMA, the "Defense of Marriage Act" signed by President Clinton in 1996.

Michelle Obama is a proponent of repealing DOMA. We've got momentum. Mark your calendars: January 10th. Details to follow.

Saw Dan Nicoletta at the protest last night. You might remember him as an aspiring photographer in Milk, played by Lucas Grabeel. This is a crappy nightvision shot, but I'm no Dan Nicoletta.

Some tips for Saturday's SOM

If you're coming to Sound of Music on Saturday, you might want to bring a flashlight to be one of the cool kids. If you want to "hold a moonbeam in your hand," you might wanna bring a battery-operated votive candle (available at Walgreens).

If you hear someone yell "What do you want!" Be sure to help me out and yell back, "Equal Rights."
