Anti-Prop H8 Rally here in Boston
From where I was sitting, it seemed to be predominantly young people (you know you're getting old, when that means anyone younger than 30) with a few gray hairs now and again. There was a lot of energy to the crowd and some of the speakers were very good.
The take aways were that we should check out JoinTheImpactMA to find out what to do next and that our Democratic elected officials will be trying to use their new muscle to push for a repeal of DOMA and push for a Federal Hate Crimes bill that includes protections for trans folk.

Victory Rally in Copley
Change dawning.
Update: I set the alarm and stumbled out of bed, as soon as the polls open to get to the school down the street where I vote. It was already hopping. A crowd of kids with 'No on One' signs -- our let's abolish the income tax ballot question -- and members of the firefighters local were already there.
I got there maybe ten minutes after the polls opened and the polling station was already full with a couple of people queued up to get their ballots and then wait for a desk to open up, so that we could fill them in for the scantron machine.
The actual voting was kind of anti-climatic. Just putting pen to paper and filling in my oval for Obama/Biden, but the elderly poll worker was great. As I was about to put my ballot into the machine, she asked me if I remembered to mark both sides of the ballot and if I had any problems.
I smiled at her and shook my head. I did notice that I was the fiftieth voter, which makes me hope for some impressive turnout today.
As I headed out into the sunshine, I probably should have said something witty like it's going to be all right or something, but this is before coffee. It's going to be a long anxious day while I wait to see how this is going to turn out.

Vote!
No, not just on Tuesday, but you're not voting then I will hunt you down and chastise you vociferously.
But also on Stuff at Night's Best Bodies in Boston contest. I threw myself in the ring as the anti-candidate to all those gym honed hard bodies. Semi-suitable for work - but not before you've eaten.
Thank you for your votes. (And huge thanks to Mark for actually making me look reasonable.)
