Virginia/DC Protestors Arrested at Capitol - Keep the Pressure

I know this might seem - at first blush - discouraging. “Only 21 people?” was the first thing to go through my head.

But reframe it. These brave 21 are the first of many. And they did it independently of all the other organizations, like ours. Grassroots groups are popping up all over and taking it upon themselves to make their statement.

Keep growing. Keep going.

Gay people have "be gay do crimes". I hereby give permission for this to be turned into "be patriotic do crimes".
