Ok I went to the Queens PFLAG meeting today and my friend [info]mashfanficchick showed up! It was nice see her there.

Afterwards I walked her to her Grandmother's place [which is not that far from where the meeting was held.

After that I made my way to Folsom Street East.

As my luck goes as soon as I went about 10 feet outside the subway it started to rain a little.

A short time after I got there, the rain got heavier. Walked around and waited the rain out. After 30 minutes or so it stopped.

I ran into many people that I know including Emily and [info]nyghtowl who I hang out with at the TES table the last hour or so.

Afterwards, they took me to dinner at florent which is closing in a week. [Thank you again!]

Too bad I had to work and do meeting.

I got a number of online BD wishes here, Myspace, facebook and email sent to me directly. I also got a number of calls from off-line friends and family. In fact I got a call from my Niece [first time she did that].

My "boss" and co-worker took me to dinner at a place called Louie's out in Port Washington. It was a very nice place and the food was great!

SPECIAL ALERT - Call Gov. Patterson NOW! [Jun. 4th, 2008|10:53 am]
[Tags|, , ]







I received this information in an email this morning from Marriage Equality NY <info@marriageequalityny.org>

Please feel free to pass this along to anyone or anywhere you want.    Also feel free to link to this entry.

-Larry- 

PS: You can also see the Alert at: 
http://home.ezezine.com/855/855-2008.06.04.10.33.archive.html




------------------------------------------------

SPECIAL ALERT


GET INVOLVED- Gov. Patterson is polling support for his marriage decision as opposition takes legal action!

Gov. David Paterson told state agencies on May 14 that New York must recognize same-sex marriages performed in Massachusetts, Canada and other places where they are legal.  The directive should provide gay couples with as many as 1,300 rights afforded to married heterosexuals, including the ability to collect health and pension benefits, being admitted as “close family” in a hospital room and transferring a business license.  

On June 3rd, a Christian legal organization says it has sued to stop New York from recognizing same-sex marriages legally performed in other states.  The Alliance Defense Fund says it filed its lawsuit Tuesday in a court in the Bronx. Several Republican state senators are named as party to the suit. The Arizona-based legal group filing the lawsuit has intervened elsewhere in gay marriage and religious freedom cases.  


WE MUST STAND UP FOR OUR RIGHTS NOW!

Governor Patterson is doing a poll on whether people support his decision.  Take 5 seconds to lodge your support, just call 1-518-474-8390.  You will talk to a live person from the Governor's office during business hours.  

Just say "I support the Governor's position on same sex marriage," then give them your 5 digit (New York) zip code.

And, after doing that, join us for pride, for our annual wedding march in September (add it to your calendars), and donate so we can do more (like our "walk a mile in our shoes campaign" and our Albany event Monday of this week) to show these groups we will not accept anything short of equality!

Happy Pride!

If you would like to help me carry the banner for the NYABN you would be the first to help carry the new banner that I got!

Reminder: The parade steps off at 12:00 NOON (so we should meet there at 11:30AM) somewhere on 89th Street Near 37th Avenue in Jackson Heights Queens (NYC).

I also want to wish all the Nurse's, CNA, HHA, etc. out there that take care of someone. I do know how it can be a hard job.

As I did last year and every year since I lost my Brenda, I sent each floor that she was on and to the general staff flowers as a special thank you.

I want to say that I am sorry that what I said made you fell uncomfortable.
Yes, we have known each other for over 12 years [including the years you where out west and we had no contact at all] and yes I know that you have NEVER expressed any interest in me in any way execpt maybe as a friend [and ONLY as a friend] and please understand that yes I do accept and know that nothing beyond that is ever going to happend between us.

I see now that my "flirtation" did go way overboard and I am truely sorry that it did. I would like to chalk it up to the fact that It was late and I have not been sleep well as of late, but I do not want to use that for a valid excuse because when you make a FRIEND feel uncomfortable there
truely is no EXCUSE.

In the future, I will be more carefull what I say and again I am sorry.

I got this in an email today and I am posting it unedited.

-Larry-

====================================


Holocaust Remembrance Day - May 2,

Please wait 20 Seconds before you close this e-mail.

This message asks you to do one small act to remember the six million (6,000,000) Jewish lives that were lost during the Holocaust. Send this message to everyone you know who is Jewish.

If we reach the goal of reaching six million e-mail names before May 2, we will fulfill and give back to G-d what He gave to us: 6 million Jews who are alive today who remember those who perished.

Please send this message and Ask them to also forward it to others.

Thank you.

"Why is that, as a culture, we are more comfortable seeing two men holding guns than holding hands?" -Ernest Gaines

We would like to know who really believes in gay rights on livejournal. There is no bribe of a miracle or anything like that. If you truly believe in gay rights, then repost this and title the post as "Gay Rights." If you don't believe in gay rights, then just ignore this. Thanks.

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.
