Fuck your rules, we'll never be quiet!


anyway, this is from the prop 8 protests on 11 15 08. randomly rediscovered it on my computer. Not satisfied with the edits, because the base picture was a little blury - shaky hand in all the hubbub - and i caught a fellow photog. but, the darling in front is a Sister of Perpetual Indulgence, if you're familiar with some of the San Francisco queer life. I mostly walked with her and the guy holding the flag, when I wasn't in front with other photogs, snapping shots of the action.

Check the sign above the tunnel. (We weren't.)

I regrettably forget where this was taken, but I can tell you I was running the entire afternoon to get the shots I wanted. at some point I was on top of the tunnel getting shots of the crowd entering, and I was in the midst of the crowd along Powell, and through Chinatown, and at fisherman's wharf when we stormed it, and along the back of Ghiradelli and stopping traffic on Van Ness and back to city hall where Pollo Del Mar gave a full-hearted but slapped-together speech. We got so much love and support from San Franciscans, even though we stopped them on their way to work and walked among their cars...

But San Francisco isn't where we should have marched. Instead, we should have marched through the non-gay-friendly areas. we already have san francisco, yadidimean?
