Join The Impact in my home city San Francisco on Saturday, November 15, 2008
This is a day I will never forget. The weather was in the 80's (fabulous), the sun was shining, love was in the air, and my emotions were much more than I ever expected. What a day when the whole country can come together as one. To me, California Prop 8 has been a blessing in disguise.

You Have Got To
Borrowed from Huntington's Blog
"Somewhere in Des Moines or San Antonio there is a young gay person who all the sudden realizes that he or she is gay; knows that if their parents find out they will be tossed out of the house, their classmates will taunt the child, and the Anita Bryants and John Briggses are doing their part on TV.
"And that child has several options: staying in the closet, and suicide. And then one day that child might open the paper that says 'Homosexual elected in San Francisco' and there are two new options: the option is to go to California, or stay in San Antonio and fight.
"Two days after I was elected I got a phone call and the voice was quite young. It was from Altoona, Pennsylvania. And the person said 'Thanks'. And you've got to elect gay people, so that thousand upon thousands like that child know that there is hope for a better world; there is hope for a better tomorrow. Without hope, not only gays, but those who are blacks, the Asians, the disabled, the seniors, the us's: without hope the us's give up. I know that you can't live on hope alone, but without it, life is not worth living.
"And you, and you, and you, and you have got to give them hope."
