Day of Silence and Maggie Gallagher's 'testimony'

Just a quick word about the National Organization for Marriage's Maggie Gallagher and her testimony at the "Defending Marriage" charade of a hearing today held by hate group supporter Rep. Trent Franks. To paraphrase Americablog Gay - she is all ready to testify here but it's interesting that she didn't choose to testify at the Prop 8 trial. 

The lgbt blogs will be watching you today, Maggie. As well as the other "witnesses." And any mistake you make, any error you make, and especially any lie you tell will be put on display and spotlighted.

We wait in anticipation of your "words."

But to more important issues, today is the annual Day of Silence where hundreds of thousands of students nationwide take a vow of silence to bring attention to anti-LGBT name-calling, bullying and harassment in their schools.

Now I could go into an amusing expository about how the attempts to derail this day by the religious right have descended over the years from a righteous yell to a pitifully weak mew for attention (chiefly seen by the sad attempted frame-up this week by Peter LaBarbera and company).

But I won't. Today is about the children. Not just our lgbt children but all children. Today is the day we let them teach us about love, tolerance, and respect for all people, lgbts included. Have a successful day, guys:
