As the proud stepfather of an equally proud, but gay stepson, I am fully supportive of all in this respect.

The gay and lesbian community was in the forefront of the civil rights movement in America. We marched in mass to help our African American brothers and sisters fight for their inherent rights and freedoms. On Tuesday where were they in California? Where were they in Arizona? Where they in Arkansas? They were not there for us, they did not return the favor. We struggle alone. To our Jewish friends out there. We also died by the thousands in the Holocaust. Our suffering like yours has lasted thousands of years. Where were they in California? Only when all those cast out by society have their basic rights, and only then will there be the chance for justice. Thanks Rick for your forum, as always I admire your intelligence and personal courage.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
