i'm not a phone person, but...

Last night I went with my friend Corso to the No on 8 headquarters in the Castro, and volunteered in the phone bank. I was quite nervous, never having done it before, and a little scared that people may say mean things and I wouldn't know how to deal with it.

However, the experience was awesome. Looking around the crowded room and seeing folks of all sexualities, ages, and colors, was totally inspiring. The room was abuzz with positive energy. I really felt like I was part of a historical movement to create change.

Only one person I talked to said that they were voting yes. The other people I contacted were very supportive, and some were downright awesome.

"I can't believe we have to fight for this," said one older man, "it's like we're in the stone ages!"


I concur.
