Today made its mark. Today will help shape the future. Today millions of women and allies around the world stood up for what they believed in. Equality.
Today I marched alongside 100,000 other Minnesotans from St. Paul College to the capital building. I saw citizens at every age, some still in their mother's womb. I cannot express my joy and happiness that this many people showed up to share their love for one another. One of my favorite moments from today happened as we were trying to catch a train to St. Paul. There was a woman on the train, squished against the window with her handmade sign, but she had the brightest smile on her face. When she made eye contact with Whitney and me she grinned wide and waved. This is what we are here for, to bring light to the issue that love doesn't exist everywhere but that it should. Love trumps hate. I believe that we have a long way to go as a nation and human race, but this march was a step in the right direction.
I hope that this march will empower people everywhere to take action in their own lives to make a change. Choosing to love others is a simple life change you can make everyday. Everyone deserves love, everyone deserves rights.
