Yesterday at the "Day of Decision" rally for marriage equality in San Francisco, I noticed what an extraordinary number of dogs were there standing in solidarity with the lesbian and gay community on this important civil rights issue.
I've long been grateful to our straight allies, but this support, cutting as it does across the species line, means the world to me. I particularly welcome the support of the pit bulls, who, one must acknowledge, know a thing or two about second class citizenship.
Thank you, dogs of equality! Believe me, I'll be there to stand for your rights, too!
A little out of focus, but if these aren't family values, I don't know what are.
