Lobby Day 2007

Some old friends in town for queer Lobby Day at the Capitol joined me in front of the Senate this morning. That's Mike Johnson(left) and Pete Golden proudly boosting the shower curtain. Thanks guys! After the Senate closed it's doors, we sped off to the local Caribou for a coffee break before the big rally.

I brought about seventy stickers with me today and handed out every one of them, including the one stuck on my shirt. Wish I had made more!

Many supportive legislators appeared on the dais at the rally including, first term Sen. Jim Carlson(told ya he was one of the good guys), and some others I was unaware of as queer supporters but it was great to see them up there. It was a good, concise program, with a turnout similar to past rallies.

And, of course, the nuts were on the periphery praying "for" us, but we're all still alive anyway.
