together we stand, together we fight

As most of you are probably well aware, I am a big advocate for Same-Sex Marriage, giving homosexuals the same rights that I have. Today I went to a big rally in Melbourne which was advocating for these rights. We marched all through the city shouting all sorts of slogans. It was a fantastic turnout.  At the top you can see the procession passing Parliament House, then the rally congregating at the State Library then there's Brownwyn Pike, State MP speaking, a great sign and Sir Ian Mckellen speaking.

'In a world that is so full of hatred and bigotry and war and famine, we’re watching children overseas dying every day of starvation and Malaria and we’re criticizing two people for loving each other. It’s devastating, and I think it’s so sad that when we’ve been so progressive, we’ve also taken so many steps backwards'

11:11

The clock just ticked over, and I closed my eyes to make a wish. I suddenly realised I didn't know what to wish for. Sure I could wish for peace in Thailand or for another Labor win in the Federal Election this year or for my football team to continue to win games like it did last night (it was amazing); but wishes aren't fun unless they're selfish.

I used to wish for Jules back, but I know now that we could never go back. There's noone else I particularly want boy-wise. Sure, it would be nice to have another guy in my life and I do miss having a boyfriend but there's no particular guy that fits the mould currently.

Musical wise, sure I would have liked to get Reno, but I don't want it now and I am happy with my part.

I'm getting on with both of my parents for the first time in years, same with my friends.

School is tough, and I am struggling with the workload but I just need to be more focused and I'll be fine.

So yes, I know 11:11 was an hour ago now, but I want to donate my wish to Ryan, a friend of mine who is 15 and currently struggling with Leukaemia.

I hope you get through this, I know you will and I hope you live a long, healthy happy life. You deserve it.

To finish off, here is a picture that gave me hope of something good in a place of terror.
