Editors' Note: Projector John Selig sent in these photos from the Dallas Day of Decision protest yesterday evening as a guest photo essay. Clickety all pics to embiggen. For more pictures, check out John's site.
In Texas there were protests this evening in Austin, Denton, Houston and San Antonio in addition to the one I took photos at here in Dallas. I was one of approximately 10 speakers at the Dallas protest which attracted several hundred people. The Dallas protest was organized by Queer Liberaction.

Yesterday was an interesting day indeed. We learned about a Hispanic pick for the Supreme Court on the same day that we learned that Prop 8 will be upheld by the California Supreme Court. Thank you for sharing the photos from Dallas.
Here are some pics from our rally here in Phoenix, AZ.

I lived in Scottsdale for 15 months and my son went to the University of Arizona so it means a great deal to me to see you wonderful photos by 7th Avenue in Phoenix!
As we protested here in Dallas we were in unity with the other 116 protests put on by day of decision.
I recommend that folks remain in touch with www.dayofdecision.com to keep abreast of future activities.
John, I was grateful finally, to see a single lone American flag at a peaceful protest demanding equality in legal rights under American Law. As long as we do less than this we are still citizens from Mars.
When will I see more such flags I wonder? When will Gay organizers realize the importance of our national symbol in keeping protesters safe from police harassment. They do not want to be photographed charging a group of protesters holding an American Flag. Gay veterans alone seem to understand this. I hope more learn to and understand that our flag is not a symbol of anyone's oppression, but of a promise that we build toward a more perfect union. And Honey!, if that does not include Gay Rights nothing else does.
