Taking Note of our Diversity

On Saturday evening, I marched in the Capitol Pride parade with the Gertrude Stein Democratic Club. My respect for the GLBT community in Washington, DC runs very deep, because I see the commitment to political action . The activism shown by Gertrude Stein and the rest of the GLBT community demonstrates how political involvement can yield positive results.

As a city, we must all realise that the GLBT community has faced discrimination for many years, but they did not take it passively. Groups like Gertrude Stein here in DC and Human Rights Campaign nationally have worked tirelessly to make their issues known and to fight for equal treatment regardless of sexual orientation.



Below are some pictures from the parade. Enjoy:
