Der Mittenfuhrer holding anti-gay rally on Sunday. MassEquality plans counter-rally.

[Ian David]

I just got off the phone with MassEquality, and they ARE planning something.

They debated not showing-up at all, since, as far as they're concerned, this is all over. We've won. Our work here is done.

However, they decided to make it a point to have people show-up-- especially gay couples with families and children.

I suggested that a good compromise between protesting and not showing-up would be to make sure people only hold blank signs, the implied message being, "We're here, but the debate is over. We've won. There's nothing more we need to say."

I've been told that my "blank sign" idea will be considered. (Some people call me crazy, others say I "Think Out-Of-The-Box.")

If they don't go with my blank signs idea, then they're going to want to keep everything positive (no fun!) and refrain from anti-Romney messages and such.

So, if you want to go, start making signs with a positive, inclusive, pro-equality message.

("Lions Cure Pharisees" is, unfortunately, NOT positive. Sigh.)

Try to recruit gay couples with their children to show-up. Straight allies, pro-equality church people, etc.

MassEquality should be sending out an official email shortly.
