That read “A day without human rights is like a day without orange juice.” at an anti-Anita rally in DC when she was on her campaign of hate. I proudly wore it to my first out-of-closet Gay Pride parade in DC, their second,I think. I was with my boyfriend and still my husband; a local TV cameraman asked if he could take a shot adding “I won’t get your face in it.” I said “It’s okay, to get my face.” So I saw it on the Nightly News at Eleven! A few of my coworkers told me the next day “I saw you on TV last night.” ,Bless’ them all, no one ever scorned me that I was aware of. (I had no idea that she was only three days younger than I.)

PS I won’t miss her at all.
