I believe that, next to the wars we are currently waging, the single most important issue in the U.S. today is the discrimation faced by the GLBT community.  I have said this before, but will say again that eventually history will look back on this time period and be absolutely BOWLED OVER that such discrimation was taking place in the year 2009.  How is this possible???  And I believe that in my desire to be on the right side of history – the right side of what is RIGHT – means I have to do whatever I can to help end the discrimation.

As far as I can tell the most effective way to show bigoted people that humans are humans and deserving of their rights as such is to confront them with the humanity of those people they are fighting.

Ken Starr is attempting to file a suit that will categorically divorce over 18,000 couples who were married in the state of California last year.  Family values anyone?!  The very people who believe that gay marriage will destroy the family are HELL BENT on destroying THESE families – families that are different from theirs.

It makes me livid.

In response to Ken Starr’s lawsuit the Courage Campaign asked individuals to send in photos with the message: Don’t divorce us.  It blows my mind that such a request must even be made.

So here is to the family.  Let’s hope these families get to keep that status.
