History in the Making

Hello Bloggers,
My name is Carmen Chic and I just want to take a moment to share my experience and what I learned during my stay here in Washington D.C for The National Equality March 2009. First of all I want to say that this city has so many AMAZING landmarks. On our first day the Gals from L.A, I and our wonderful chaperone Anne-Marie Williams went site seeing and omg I was so EXCITED knowing that  I was walking on the same streets that our founding fathers walked on. Attending Camp Courage was so empowering made me feel that I had a community that I can relate to and meeting new people and sharing their most touching stories of where they came from and what they went through. Attending Arlington Cemetery for the Wreath Laying at the Tomb of the Unknowns was by far the most emotional experience that I encounter in my trip and seeing Lt. Dan Choi and his partner kissing infront of many people really got to me and the other emotional experience was visiting and looking for a name  of a falling soilder on the Vietnam War Veteran Memorial Wall. I was so honor to participate in the march today. My voice was heard today, I went out there and let congress know that we want EQUALITY RIGHTS NOW!!! I was telling the Gals that this was our Woodstock and Stonewall of our generation. I want to thank all the donors that made it possible for us to experience this and I want to end this blog by saying this: WE'RE HERE, WE'RE QUEER, WE'RE FABULOUS, DON'T F*** WITH US! = ]
