I know that many of us are disappointed by the outcome of the election. Wednesday was not the day of victory we had hoped for. However, despite this setback, we will never stop fighting for equality. The future may be filled with difficulty, but we simply cannot turn back out of fear.

After Dumbledore's death, at a time when the wizarding world was consumed by despair, Harry gave his friends the opportunity to abandon the fight against Voldemort. Hermione responded with bravery and courage, "'You said to us once before,' said Hermione quietly, 'that there was time to turn back if we wanted to. We've had time, haven't we?''

Like Hermione we will stick by our friends in order to fight for what we know is right. There is no turning back. We are committed to seeing this struggle through to the end.

Tomorrow, you have a chance to make Anchorage a more loving and accepting place to live.

Please take the time to vote yes on Prop 5. Make Dumbledore proud! As Dumbledore once wisely said, we must all "make the choice between what is right and what is easy."

Stand up for equal rights and get to the polls. No sitting on your arse tomorrow! And here's to a future of equality for all.

I hate to be repetitive, but this an important issue, so today's quote is the same quote posted yesterday.

"Dumbledore was the the one who stuck up for me after Dad went...He'll accept anyone at Hogwarts s'long as they've got the talent...But some don' understand that. There's some who'd always hold it up against yeh...I am what I am, an' I'm not ashamed"
-Rubeus Hagrid

Remember to get out and vote yes on Prop 5!

Harry Potter Quote of the Day:

-Rubeus Hagrid

After Hagrid was outed as a half-giant against his will, he faced an immense amount of discrimination. Dumbledore, however, stood up for Hagrid, knowing him to be a good, hardworking man.
Unfortunately, not all employers are like Dumbledore.

Protect Anchorage citizens from discrimination in the workplace. Vote yes on Prop five. Check out oneanchorage.com for more information!
