DeSantis and the terrorist who murdered 3 AAs represent two sides of the same violent white supremacist violence coin. One kills with long guns; the other kills incrementally through racist policies of suppression and erasure.

March on Washington for Lesbian, Gay, and Bi Rights. April 25th, 1993

30 years ago on April 25th I was at this March with friends. Still mostly in the closet, one foot outside the door. I was active in ACT UP and volunteered for the local AIDS/HIV non profit, mostly visiting men in the end stages of AIDS or delivering items to those who were homebound. This event was pivital in many ways for me.

I was, for the first time, at a large multiregional political rally, as opposed to Pride (like Chicago or Iowa CIty). IT was attended by contigents from all states and other US held territories. There was a purpose. A list of precise and important civil rights were created and the rally was to bring those request into the sights of our current (new) Government, President Clinton and his administration.

This article has that list.

I looked around and saw so many lesbians. They were wearing lesbian pride shirts, holding signs that said "Lesbian" and there were hats with Labrys and buttons with funny sayings like "Woman by birth, Lesbian by Grace..If you see Grace, tell her I said 'Hello'" I loved the humor and courage and clear self respect these women had. I started to think coming out and living life as a lesbian would be ok.

Then something amazing happened. My group of friends ran into another group of friends from Iowa City. As the groups meshed together for hugs and excited conversation, a woman I recognized from the bar made solid eye contact, smiled in a way I had never experienced and said "hi Jen". I didn't know she knew who I was. She was on my mind the rest of the weekend and back at my hometown bar she asked me to play pool. We were together 7 years. She pulled me from the closet and I learned so much from that first love. We are friends to this day. I only remembered it was 30 years ago because she texted me "Happy Friendiversary".

I will seeh her at work today and I hope she bring cupcakes to celebrate. LOL That woman can cook.

“Although this summer has seen remarkable progress in translating civil rights from principles into practices, we have a very long way yet to travel.”

MARCH IN WASHINGTON

AUG 18, 1965

Proposed Statement

We have witnessed today in Washington and tens of thousands of Americans -- both Negro and white -- exercising their right to assemble peaceably and direct the widest possible attention to a great national issue. Efforts to secure equal treatment and equal opportunity for all without regard to race, color, creed or nationality are neither novel nor difficult to understand. What is different today is the intensified and widespread public awareness of the need to move forward in achieving these objectives -- objectives which are older than this nation.

Although this summer has seen remarkable progress in translating civil rights from principles into practices, we have a very long way yet to travel. One cannot help but be impressed with the deep fervor and the quiet dignity that characterizes the thousands who have gathered in the Nation's Capital from across the country to demonstrate their

faith and confidence in our democratic form of government. History has seen many demonstrations - - of widely varying character and for a whole host of reasons. As our thoughts travel to other demonstrations that have occurred in different parts of the world, this Nation can properly be proud of the demonstration that has occurred here today. The leaders of the organizations sponsoring the March and all who have participated in it deserve our appreciation for the detailed preparations that made it possible and for the orderly manner in which it has been conducted.

The Executive Branch of the Federal Government will continue its efforts to obtain increased employment and to eliminate dicrimina-tion in employment practices, two of the prime goals of the March. In addition, our efforts to secure enactment of the legislative proposals made to the Congress will be maintained, including not only the Civil

Rights Bill, but also proposals to broaden and strengthen the Manpower Development and Training Program, the Youth Employment Bill, amendments to the vocational education program, the establishment of a work-study program for high school age youth, strengthening of the adult basic education provisions in the Administrations education program and the amendments proposed to the public welfare work-relief and training programs. This nation can afford to achieve the goals of a full employment policy --it cannot afford to achieve the goals of a full employment policy --it cannot afford to permit the potential skills and educational capacity of its citizens to be unrealized.

The cause of 20 million Negroes has been advanced by the program conducted so appropriately before the Nation's shrine to the Great Emancipator, but even more significant is the contribution to all mankind.
