Flake. Today's Arizona Daily Star reveals that an Arizona congressman, Jeff Flake, is pushing an anti-gay marriage bill in the US House of Representatives. "As the speaker, I don't like to sponsor a lot of bills, but I feel very strongly about this," said Flake, who serves as House speaker. "We hope to be the first state to get this to Congress."
Flake represents Mesa, a heavily Mormon community. I called his Washington, DC office (202) 225-2635 and spoke to a staff member. I was pretty mad. And I did something I never, ever do. When I hung up I slammed the phone down as hard as I could. I was nicer when I called his Arizona office- (480) 833-0092 and spoke to the woman there.
If even one person who reads this picks up their phone and calls their congressperson and tells them that they do not support anti-gay marriage legislation, that would make my day better.
Later. After my talk at the Art Museum I ran home to grab lunch. A cute girl was raising money for HIV/AIDs on a street corner by having a one-woman bake sale. What a sweet thing. It makes up for some stupidity discussed above.
