What a Night! We Shall Overcome



Guard Spiketakiss and I arrived early to meet up with Luis and the other organizers, get ourselves settled, and find out what they needed us to do. They were very organized with boxes of candles already in protective cups, sign up sheets, and someone coming who would perform acoustically.

Right away we were assigned to get people to fill out info on a sign up sheet.

We were soon joined by many others including Sisters Odora, Honey, Novice Bearie D'licous, Postulant Raisa, friends from AZ Trans Alliance, Central Arizona Gender Alliance, Phoenix boys of Leather, APAH, and many more. Some, like Kenneth and his partner wore arm bands with a pink triangle that said 2nd Class on it. Others brought huge signs with various slogans they found personally powerful. I was content to sit with the sign up sheet while I chanted alternately demanding "equal rights now" and "sexy men now" which got quite a chuckle out of those standing nearby.


It was wonderful meeting new people, and seeing so many friends, and truly inspiring to see the passion which people spoke their minds.

The next rally will be this Saturday the 15th, at 11:30 AM at the Cesar Chavez Memoriall. More details to come.
