photo by Jennifer DurhamI’ve seen many pictures of the protests sparked by the passage of Proposition 8 (and other anti-same-sex-marriage ballot measures), see for example this Flickr pool (thanks, Jill) but for my money easily the best is the new website, Stand on a Question of Love, built with care by Jennifer Durham. Jennifer is a great photographer, but these aren’t carefully manicured pictures, they’re raw and human and very warm. They embody what it means to be a human being wanting a full and equal life. Go watch the video.
And while we’re on the subject, don’t forget to call in gay on December 10th.

Thank you Nicola. I’m glad you liked the photos. I got a lot out of making those photographs – both as a photographer and as a person. It’s been a valuable experience.I hope people do commit to participating on the 10th. Even if it’s not possible to skip work – take a look at the page on that website referencing that.
My pleasure. And, yes, so many people forget that making art changes the artist, not just the consumer/enjoyer of the art.I’ll try to remember to post more about A Day Without a Gay nearer the time.
These are great pix. I was there and she really captures the moment.
Jennifer, this literally made me cry. Beautiful.Nicola, thank you so much for the link.
Beautifully done, Jennifer.
I hope that your photographs arte history in the making. Bravo!
I hope that your photographs are history in the making. Bravo!(oops)
Thank you all. Cry? Wow. All I can think is that the music adds so much. Love Never Fails.You may say I’m a dreamer…. But I’m not the only one.
Can I add this link to your visual slide show. It’s from a post at truthdig.com http://www.truthdig.com/report/item/20081116_proposition_8_protests_across_the_country/
http://www.truthdig.com/report/item/20081116_proposition_8_protests_across_the_country/I am reposting in hopes that the whole address shows.
jennifer, I cried, too. I also bawled my eyes out two days ago while watching Sharkwater. The beauty we’re sometimes capable of creating or appreciating makes me soft and weepy. I think it balances out the pessimist in me. The world seriously needs more dreamers to keep it from going even deeper into the nightmare it is becoming on so many fronts. Thank you for finding us a way to be in those demonstrations for love. Thanks for hope against hate.
