The View From Your Protest: Corvallis, Oregon
A reader writes:
I am 35 years old, straight & a military veteran.
I have never in my life participated in a civil protest before, but today I couldn’t
ignore the call.
Today is game-day at OSU’s Beaver Stadium in
Corvallis, so the traffic was very heavy for this college town of 50,000.
There were a few haters giving us the thumbs-down or other rude gestures on the
way to the game, but overwhelmingly the response was enthusiastic &
supportive honking from the football crowd. Of the 100+ protesters, a
very large portion of them were straight and there with their spouse or
family.
My gay brother-in-law Mark passed away a few weeks
ago. I wish he could have lived a little while longer to see this fight
finally won.
