I`m posting this here as well as in activism 'cause we need all the luck & good wishes we can get....
My wife & I are en route to Canada`s Parliament Hill today to take part in an event to recognize the 1st anniversary of same-sex marriage. Our names are going to be used in a press release condemning Stephen Harper, the Conservative candidate for PM who has said that he will not ask the courts to recognize same-sex marriage.
I'm kind of nervous (and excited!) we feel very strongly about this issue (see my sig) especially as it applies to the rights of future children we may have.. but my dw is nervous about hurting her deeply religious family who were upset by our media appearances next year. I am aware that it's easy to get sucked into the media vortex at these things and I'm hoping it will be okay.
Wish us luck! (and if you're in Canada, watch for us on the news...maybe!)
