A big, gay blog post.

**Back posted from Myspace, which is no-more.

I've spent a lot of time lately reading the Stranger's Homo History feature, from this past year's pride issue, because it's been slow at work and is something I've been meaning to read. (Being in that kind of mood, apparently, I would prefer to read the lesbian history book that's in my car, but can't really do that while I'm supposed to be working, so I'm settling.)

Anyway, I got as far as 1989 before something made me pause. That something was the following quote from someone who was married on the first day that gay marriage was legal in Denmark:
"Be open. Come out. Keep fighting. This is the only way to move anything. If everyone comes out of the closet then this will happen everywhere."

I may not be the best activist ever. In fact, I'm not much of an activist at all since I'm always at rehearsal and never have time to actually do any activisting (no matter how much I may want to). But this is something I can do:

I like girls - a whole bunch. I'm told I'll get the hang of the gay thing soon, but for now I'm happy just saying it somewhere marginally public.

So there! I may be a lazy activist, but I'm a big, gay, lazy activist, dangit!
