This is what I did with my Sunday the last week of august in 91 degree weather in Washington DC . I got up early and boarded a bus full of men and women to represent Gays Against Guns .. Yes I was campaigning. I was role modeling an engage politician who acts rather than remains silent on things he believes in . I must tell you that wearing all white and covering myself with a veil was a profoundly moving experience for me 


I carried the sign bearing the name (Jesse Childress) of an active duty soldier 29 years old killed when he he threw himself over the body of a woman soldier in the movie theater n aurora when the mass killer with an assault weapon in his hands attacked . I am still grieving over what happened in Orlando .many of you know I had very successful clubs with the best dj's for dancing spinning.in the 80's My clubs were alway gay at their core but always open to people who just wanted to have fun and dance and maybe make out ..we were all sexual orientations and gender expressions .. so PULSE I still have not recovered from the deep assault on who we are by a person who should never have been allowed to buy a gun,  I do not want to hear of one more death by gun violence committed by a person who would never have had a gun in their hands..including bad cops. I am grateful to my children who organized Gays Against Guns and to Tigger Ferguson for conceptualizing the "Human Beings" shrouded figures all in white and silent bearing witness to a person killed by a gun that is marketed for profit and sells a masculinity that is brutal even when deranged


yes you can help me by voting on September 13
