http://www.facebook.com/search/?q=equality+across+america+houston&init=quick#/event.php?eid=262435253247&ref=mfWell, locally as in like 45 minutes from me.
I really wanted to go. But coming off working full time hours going into full time student and still working part time, I'm dead tired. I literally passed out.
I feel awful that I didn't get the chance to go. I don't know, there's something about one of these things being just down the highway that makes it all the more real and present. I know I just try to live my life as safely as I can and hope that I don't make whatever 'mistakes' befall the girls and guys who meet an end like that... but 'mistake' implies blame on the victim.
I wanted to talk to my parents about it when I got home. The heaviness of this sort of thing. Of course, they were busy. And then my mother screamed at me for two hours, used 'Whatsit' as my name once, and told me only boys fight with their mothers. I decided that I'm not going to share the news of this event with them.
I don't suppose anyone here happened to get the chance to attend?
