In the world before that night, we could not have done what we did. But that night we did. We finally stood up and said we have rights. To congregate. To dance. To mourn. To be left alone. Left alone to live, to love, to work, or just dance and listen to Garland sing.

is trying to make the letter go viral. Lots of people in the thread were going to be forwarding to others.

It's so typical -- the police where there to raid because they wanted an increase in the bribe money to keep them away!!!

It's a great story. I'm glad the paper printed it. I hope it does go viral.
