So Pride week came to a close today. We tabled for two days in a row for the NDP at the GLBT community days. We got a huge response to our two petitions -- one to ask Stephen Harper not to re-open the same-sex marriage debate, and the other to put in trans people as a protected group in the Human Rights Code.
A huge number of former Bloc Québécois voters said they're going to vote NDP next election -- Duceppe's managed to piss them off by being so chummy with Harper.
Halfway through, the community fair emptied out as everyone marched to protest the bombing of Lebanon. A handful of us watched the tables -- though Helem, the gay Lebanese group, stayed around to collect donations for the wounded and signatures on their own petitions.
And![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
melting_penguin and bananality dropped by, which was a nice surprise.
I got to the closing ceremonies of the Outgames. I appreciate all of Mark Tewksbury's work, but he should be restricted by restraining order from approaching within 200 metres of the French language.
(Liza Minelli sang. I'm not really a fan of her music, but I felt really bad for her as she died onstage for her first two numbers. She was trying so hard, too -- she seemed almost lucid through most of it, though quite obviously drunk. But she brought back the crowd when she started singing from Cabaret.)
Andjenjoou throws a lovely party, but now I shall never be able to pass a barrel again without uttering the word "Barrel" in a growly voice.
