GOOD FOR AMERICA - Queer Blogging the Excel

The religion reporter for the Star Tribune was nice enough to take our picture this afternoon before she interviewed us. We were situated across Kellogg Blvd. from River Center at the entrance to the main parking ramp, an ideal location for maximum exposure of our message to the queer-hating religious fanatics attending the Family Something Blah Blah Blah conference. Every car that went in from either direction had to pass within twenty feet of us. Some of the attendees found this rather distressing. One woman yelled from her car, "you're a disgrace!" I said, "Bob, did you hear what that woman yelled at you?"

There were many expressions of support from passing motorists and pedestrians. I suspect many of them were on their way to the demonstration sponsored by Outfront that was about two blocks away. We wanted to get over to that rally but we had such a sweet location we just stuck with it.
