Whirlwind

The church I attend has joined in the swirl of publicity and action around gay marriages, offering to bless any of the City Hall weddings on Sunday the 29th. The local paper used this info in an article today, but got the date wrong. So we're going to do it both this Sunday and next for all comers. The Examiner also ran a story, but instead of getting the date wrong, got a name wrong.

It's a lesson for me, every time I get close to a news story. When I was involved with Queer Nation in the early 90s, I was often interviewed by reporters, and was amused to see how often they got details wrong. But you can't sweat the small details. My mantra is: "There's no such thing as bad publicity."
