1987-10-11

Whew, almost 20 years ago I went to the 1987 March on Washington. I was suffering through the second Reagan administration. I was working at a natural foods store.

It was incredibly powerful. I've seen different estimates, but I can easily believe there were half a million people there. With that many people in one place, I could really believe that the political tide was turning, and that we would eventually win the rights we were hoping for.

I came out at work after that. I was already out to some of the members of my family.

I came out to my parents later, when I was in a relationship (my second.) When I asked them if they had already guessed, they exchanged glances and said no. Later, my mother admitted there were clues...

I think you gave me that track, as a matter of fact.

I very well may have. It seems they have a 3rd album out! I'll have to track it down.

Did I give you just a few tracks, or the whole thing?

Looks like I have the whole album! (I still use that word....)

Yay!

I'll try to find a way to get you the second and third albums.
