The Apply for Equality protest was amazing, and a bit of an emotional roller coaster! It felt surreal to stand alongside so many compassionate people including those of faith and clergy, in solidarity for LGBT rights.... I ended up speaking a little and wept several times, but the most powerful moment was when we sang "We Shall Overcome", and drowned out the bigots that showed up. Witnessing: Catholics, various Protestant denominations, a couple other alternative people, Jews, allies, Atheists, and so many LGBT people come together to stand up for what's right; was beautiful!
I've certainly seen some of humanity at its worst and it's worn me down, but I've also seen people come together to stand for what's right...it rekindled a bit more faith in humanity.
Can't wait to do this again next year too! :)" ~AP
