32. As I've said before
(at the following link in fact: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.ph... )

Anybody want to head on over to Fort Lauderdale and hang out on the 1000th block of Sistrunk Boulevard dressed in women's clothing every night for a couple of days? I'm talking about both straight and gay folks in a show of solidarity that lets the entire population know that we're not going to let them change the way we express ourselves through fear for our lives. If we had a supporting cast of straight folk to help us out, I for one wouldn't have a problem with that.

What do you all say?

I work at a place that would be less than appreciative of my taking days off from work, but I'm willing to head on over to Fort Lauderdale anyway.

Q3JR4.
