I spoke again last night, as good a speech as i may have ever made. i told my boss beforehand, that i felt like i should speak. I'm still waiting for some kind of retribution, but hoping none is coming. We had over one thousand there last night, which for st louis, is a rather large crowd. Bill Ramsey of Instead of War introduced me as conscientiously objecting from the military to a crowd who cheered and applauded and hooted my name, yes some knew me already, some my quaker friends, some i have met more recently, some through the gay youth group i used to mentor for, and yes, i started to tear up as they cheered, so thankful for their support, maybe even for their acceptance. never in my life have i felt more tears so close to my eyes as in the past six months. but it was good, and though I'm scared today for my future, i think I'm going to be all right; I don't know what will happen, but i think i will be all right.
