I think it is very easy for all of us, including myself, to be so inspired, determined, and ready to act when I am typing the words on a page. I had said last year that when Mia and I had first been trying to get a local activist group going, the overwhelming majority of those attending were/are straight allies, whom we need for sure, but my gay and lesbian friends were no where to be found.

This would be really, really awesome. Great idea Vanessa.
