the disconnect

i received a message today asking me if i was going to the protest tomorrow. ...it took me a minute. i then realized that there must be a prop 8 protest this weekend. wait, is there one in atlanta? ...*doh* .. THIS made me realize that i am totally disconnected from the lgb community. in college it was easy to be involved.. and with all of my friends being so activisty (for lack of an actual word) it just kinda happened to me. now that im out here in atlanta, away from my politically-aware core group of friends from undergrad, i generally have no idea what the h-ll is going on. ..and im not exactly proud of that.

of course there is the apparent divide that i hear about often - between the g.l.b. and the t. but my MOMs a lesbian for Chr-st's sake! *sigh* i guess im just a little disappointed in myself.

the weekend begins now. a sleu of people that i know will be at the church on Sunday.. how exciting and scary... the post i put up on the atlanta yahoo group?

"Nov. 16th @ 11am - The Shepherd's Table Covenant Church is having a special service in preparation for Transgender Day of Remembrance on Thursday Nov 20.
