We'll just do it ourselves

Now that we've seen about as many senators declare for marriage equality who are going to, representatives (at least Democratic ones) are now doing the same. The link is to the second one today. And, as with the senators, watchers are keeping a list of which Dem representatives haven't declared. Only seven on that list.



Back during Mardi Gras, a rainbow colored crosswalk was created in the Sydney, Australia gay neighborhood. It appears (though the details seem muddled) the city council and the gay community wanted to keep it, but the mayor did not. A couple nights ago a road crew appeared and removed it. Some say the night action was treachery, other say that's simply when road work is done. The reason given is that the rainbow crossing was unsafe (I think I heard tourists were lying down in the road to get their picture taken). Whatever the reason and level of secrecy, the gay community is furious.

So gays have been busy installing their own rainbow crossings, done with paint or chalk, all over town.
