"The minute we say we are going to boycott the LDS, for example, we stray. It is time we take back the conversation and do it responsibly. There is already too much finger pointing.
- Amy Balliett, Founder of the National Anti-Prop 8 protests happening this Saturday
Today was the first time that I realized how large the protests against prop 8 are going to be on Saturday. Maybe it was my friend in Georgia posting on facebook all the information for the protest sites in their state (GEORGIA!). Maybe it was my favorite blogs (Pams House Blend in NC), podcasts (Feast of Fools in Chicago) and media sources talking up the protest organizing. It might well have been the buzz in the air, of friends postponing trips, getting off work and skipping meetings. It means that many of the people in my life are dropping their usual routine to have their voices heard.
