Happy Harvey Milk Day to all the Us's!

I was only 9 when this happened, but it's an inspiring legacy to try to live up to. Watching this old news clip of the 1993 March on Washington really shows how much things have changed (including clothing styles) and how much work there is still to go. But with places as large as France and New Zealand and as small as Rhode Island all moving towards marriage equality within the last week, the polls in our favor, and SCOTUS likely to move us a step or two towards equality, things are looking more hopeful than ever. h/t to towleroad

The annual OutRaleigh street festival happened today for only its second time. Though it looked a lot like the annual pride events over in Durham, I felt that it took on special significance given the looming amendment vote on Tuesday. I'll let the pictures do the rest of the talking.
