National Equality March this weekend!


Thousands (maybe millions?) of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered people and their supporters are heading to Washington, DC for this weekend's Equality Across America event, culminating in Sunday's Equality March to the Capitol Building.

Here's what they're marching for:

* The right to work jobs and go to school free of harassment and discrimination.
* The right to safety in their daily lives, and protection from hate crimes.
* The right to equitable healthcare, and the right to donate blood.
* The right to equitable immigration policies.
* The right to marry.
* The right to serve in the military openly.

Sounds doable, right? I know there's a perfect song for this occasion, but it's eluding me at the moment. Instead, here's Everybody by Madonna to get you in the mood.

"Secretly" by The Lettermen might be good...

Wish we didn't have to meet secretly
Wish we didn't have to kiss secretly
Wish we didn't have to be afraid
To show the world that we're in love

Till we have the right to meet openly
Till we have the right to kiss openly
We'll just have to be content to be in love secretly

Secretly
Secretly
