2: Have you been to a same-sex marriage? I don't get invited to many weddings, but I guess mine counts.
3: Do you own a rainbow flag? A couple of them.
4: Have you had the opportunity to vote for an LGBT candidate? Yes, a friend in Kentucky - he was in the state Senate and is now a judge.
5: Have you ever taken part in a gay pride parade or protest? The first was a pride parade or two in Orlando, about 7 years ago I was part of a marriage equality protest march here in DC.

1: 1991, my husband's BFF rob (aka janey). I would have said my uncle, but I never knew he was gay until 20 years after his death. THAT is how my family is.

3: 2 small ones from the 1993 DC pride parade
4: not yet, but looking forward to doing so
5: 1993 DC pride parade as a supporter
1: When was the first time you met someone you knew was LGBT? Looking back, it was in elementary school. Didn't know it then but I knew he was "like" me in some way. I found out later he was gay.
ReplyDelete2: Have you been to a same-sex marriage? A couple of them now, including one in ::::gasp:::: South Carolina!
3: Do you own a rainbow flag? We do! Flies proud.
4: Have you had the opportunity to vote for an LGBT candidate? Not in SC; and before, in California, Hawaii and Florida, if a candidate was gay, it wasn't known.
5: Have you ever taken part in a gay pride parade or protest? We marched as a group called The Will of the People in 2014 in Columbia; our group was formed to raise money to pay the legal costs of a lesbian couple, Katherine Bradacs and Tracie Goodwin, suing the state to have the marriage ban overturned.
1: When was the first time you met someone you knew was LGBT? I really don't know for sure. Growing up in NYC, it wasn't so hidden -- even in the '60s. Maybe one of our neighbors when I was around 11.
ReplyDelete2: Have you been to a same-sex marriage? Yes.
3: Do you own a rainbow flag? Not now. But we did and we flew them proudly in several places we lived.
4: Have you had the opportunity to vote for an LGBT candidate? Yes. Happily.
5: Have you ever taken part in a gay pride parade or protest? Yes. The first was in San Diego as a member of the UCSD contingent. The next year, I marched with the "The Center" where I volunteered.
Just arrived in San Francisco, caught end of the Pride Parade from or hotel room.
