Marriage Equality Supporter: “Dear Scalia, YOLO”

(snip)
As the crowd waited for initial reports from inside the chamber, one activist caught the eyes of several web-savvy marchers and reporters: Andrew Damron, a 27 year old law student at Hofstra University, pictured above, whose sign read, "DEAR SCALIA: Y.O.L.O."

(YOLO is an acronym, popular with young Internet enthusiasts, that stands for You Only Live Once.)

I asked Damron why he picked that message and whether it was aimed at Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, a notable gay marriage foe, in particular.

"I'm just hoping that they're going to rule on the right side of history," he said. "There's obviously a political message but it's really to the general public and not toward Scalia."
