Today was the day for the Million Fag March here in Topeka, KS and it was a great success! The march was in protest against the hatred spewed by Fred Phelps and the Westboro Baptist Church. Thank you to everyone who attended, contributed to the event, or just sent your positive thoughts and support. The last count I heard was over 400 marchers!!!

My own expectations were surpassed and the level of excitement and unity was amazing. I know that I am gushing a bit but I am really happy about the way that the whole thing turned out. Now it’s time to start preparing for next year’s march. lol

The one thing that I did want to say is that while this was an amazing way to show support for equality and to speak out against hatred and bigotry, these are things that need to be done every day not just once a year. My challenge to myself and to our readers is to find ways, every day if possible, to promote that message. Even if it’s something small, do it. Real change happens when we live it.
