More Pictures from the Albany, NY "No on Prop. 8" Rally

OK, I will admit that my favorite (by far) sign was the Rachel Maddow one...

It was a decent crowd (~400) [which is huge for Albany] and they (we) were all earnest enough, however...

The slogans need work...

Something akin to "No on H8, New York State" which rhymes is catchy, but still kinda...craptacular...

You would think that with all the skills that people have in this community (Albany, not the LGBT community) that something a little better thought out would have been presented...

And...one final thing...

"This could happen in New York too"

*boos from the crowd*

Umm...NO.  It couldn't.


New York doesn't have a mechanism for direct democracy (thank whatever creator you believe in for that) and...well...I am just going to say this...New Yorkers (as a whole) are a lot smarter and more decent as human beings when it comes to things like this...more of the New England temperament...

And...

I, once again, must state that I am against marriage in all forms, however, I am willing to allow everyone to share the pain.
