Yay for Gay!

I hit the jackpot the other day at the Peet's in the Castro and got five of those mugs on clearance. I want to take this opportunity to say that although I mention Peet's a lot in my blog, I'm not actually endorsed by the company or anything. I do love their coffee, but I've mainly been sticking with those stores because they happen to carry the mugs I like, and they're getting rid of them for five bucks. So if you're wondering if I'll eventually stray from them being my mug supplier, the answer is yes, I will.

Moving on. As you may know, today was a big day for gays. Prop 8 was overturned in CA and people were celebrating all over the city. I saw on Facebook that there was a support rally at City Hall so Karyne and I headed over. As it wrapped up, we were getting back in the car and I remembered that the five mugs were in the trunk. I felt like this was a good opportunity to talk to people who were already in a good mood, so I grabbed my mugs, quickly wrote the blog address on the sleeve, and went to handing them out.

I was pretty well recieved. One question was, "You don't go to anti-gay rallies and hand these out, too, right?"  Nope, I sure don't.  The other question was, "Is it OK if I'm not a big coffee drinker?" Yeah, it is. Whatever you'd normally be putting in a disposable cup, put it in here instead. That was it. I quickly unloaded five mugs and at the same time celebrated progress with the gays and gay allies. Pretty good night.
