On October 10 and 11, 2009, thousands of LGBT people and straight allies will converge on Washington DC for the National Equality March.  David Mixner gives his reason for attending:

If you are like me, then most of you will be unhappy about any of the questions above. Almost NOTHING has been done in the last eight months by the president or Congress to take us dramatically closer to freedom. We are now hearing rumbles that we have to wait until after next year's elections to protect the Blue Dog Democrats' re-election. Then, I give you my word, we will hear after that how we have to wait until the president is re-elected because after all, if we don't, they will blame us if they lose. All sound familiar?

The time has come for the grassroots of the LGBT community in this nation to make a powerful statement against being used as a political football between the two parties.

So will you be joining David Mixner and others next month in DC?  Take our poll at http://www.OutrightUSA.org to let us know if you'll be there.
