erm, well, anyway, i'm at home and recovering from the Prop 8 protest in DC. (Memphis did volunteer work since he was already committed).
it was quite a positive experience. very calm, very happy, good spirit. probably 4-5,000 people, lots of families, lots of straight allies, and it skewed quite young.
we did get poured on, and we started to joke that the rain (and tornado watches) came because some people our there were praying real extra hard.
and then, right as we made our way right up towards the white house behind the Washington Monument and in front of the Lincoln Memorial, a rainbow appeared. no joke. you can probably see it on Andrew Sullivan's blog since i was maybe 10 feet from him when i saw him take the picture. then when we got to Lafayette Park in front of the White House, it had stopped raining and the sun began to come out.
it's such a simple issue. maybe i'll post some pictures when i get them off my camera. right now, i'm still in recovery since i was soaked to the skin.
