"It started waaaaaaaaaaay back in ancient times - 1988. Gay and lesbian activists marked the occasion every October 11th remembering the second-ever gay rights march on Washington DC. It's been observed ever since then." Well, that clears things up as to what GSA was doing on campus today, being one of those students in a rush. This is the first year I have known about National Coming Out Day through friends coming out to other friends.
I wrote more thoughts on my Wiki Commentary so as to not clog up the comment space. But I really appreciate what you are doing as it relates to my own self and struggles along with that of many, many friends who also identify as LBGT and who have had to put up with utter hell because of it.

Yea I walked by you guys today like twice, and I stopped to read the signs. But nobody seemed to get me interested in it so I just kept walking. I really wanted a bracelet thing cuz I see how important it is. It's sort of like a culture stepping outside of what society say is not right. I'm not necessarily against LGBT because we're all humans. People just want to be understood. I know it's harder on you guys because there is so much hatred from "straight" people, but everybody's not like that. I'm glad you guys were out there today to raise awareness though. It's a shame how hard it is on people to make them commit suicide because of their sexual preference.

Hey Jaz - yeah I saw once in the morning. By the time I recognized you, you were on your way somewhere. Sorry I/we didn't say hi. We're a friendly bunch, I promise. If you see our table again, please stop by and grab some stuff. Thanks for what you said - you're exactly right.

Ramblings, good stuff, completely organic, no rights, nor wrongs not inhibited by years of programmable thoughts of action and reaction.
Special moments,
File them
Thy will happen again
Nice to hear
