Every day, 18 hours...

Right then I thought of a conversation I had had with Ting, the young private-equity associate and march organizer. He had told me that he didn't know that in 1993, Mixner - the gay activist and friend of Bill Clinton's who helped agitate for this year's march - had been arrested outside the White House for opposing Clinton's infamous "Don't ask, don't tell" policy for gays in the military, the same policy that gays are now impatiently waiting on Obama to overturn.
