Site news: Master protest list update (and more)

In case you haven’t noticed, there’s a tab at the top of this page that links to a master list of protests. I update this from time to time with information from Queers United — many, many thanks to them for maintaining the list.

Today’s update included a large number of weekend protests outside of Join the Impact. Locations include UCLA, Saddleback Church, SF City Hall, NYC City Hall, Vanguard College, CNN in Hollywood, Tucson, AZ, Las Vegas, NV, Philadelphia, PA, and more. Click the tab to learn more!

I also wanted to draw attention to a couple of media events scheduled for today. A blast e-mail was just sent out regarding a press conference on behalf of Proposition 8 proponents. It will be held at 12pm at the Doubletree Santa Ana. Keep an eye out for any news or information that comes from this.

Also, for those interested: Tonight’s CNN’s Larry King Live will focus on the proposition — guests include Joy Behar, Cynthia Nixon, Gavin Newsom, and more. Should be an interesting discussion. Check your listings for times.

Finally, your comments are not being ignored. I’ve been reading what you all have to say, and I intend to respond shortly. At the moment, my goal is to facilitate the spread of all available protest and event information. I do not cherry-pick what I post; an appearance here is not necessarily an endorsement of the event.

After Join the Impact this weekend, I will be transitioning to provide more commentary that will both address the concerns you all have and lay out a strategy for the future. This will be in addition to the information on protests I’ve been providing.

In the meantime, I thank everyone for their patronage, and hope that it has helped the cause in some small way.
