HRC

Kevin and I went to the HRC dinner tonight in San Francisco and had a fantastic time.. At least I did… Apple sponsored the HRC for the event so there was a table of 10 of us that were there representing the mother-ship and it was a lot of fun.. It was held at Moscone West which was a bit sterile for an event like that (I’ve been in the past at other venues that have been more inviting)… But regardless, as usual, I walked out feeling like I should be doing more to get involved and help out. They do a good job of working toward equal rights toward the GLTB community and did a good job of communicating to the audience the importance of the struggle and how it relates to so many other things.

In particular they did a great job of pointing out how the fight for Marriage equality relates closely to the fight for equality in so many other ways and how, while ‘civil unions’ may seem like a good first step in a lot of ways we shouldn’t be settling because such unions don’t afford any of the same rights by definition as legal civil marriage does.

At any rate… A good time was had by all and I feel like i need to be out there helping… But right now i’m going to crash out and hope i don’t wake up with a hangover in the morning! 🙂
