i am still buzzing from our march to washington dc.  i am in awe of the love and heroism and open hearts and dedication from the younger generation who was labeled as apathetic and lazy.  this is JUST the beginning.  equality WILL be our future.  but...

there is much work to be done.  a march is all well and good, but taking ACTION is what will get us from dreaming to reality.  and right NOW it is more important than ever for you to get over your fear of contacting your representatives and talk to them.  

it is super easy.  MAINE and WASHINGTON state are each facing vicious attacks and possible overturning of their historic same-sex marriage recognition bills.  you can join BroadwayImpact to phone bank if you want.  the NEW YORK  senate is finally about to vote for the issue here at home.  you must call your senator if you haven’t already.  there is so much to be done.  please get involved.  if you want to know what more you can do, please go to our home page and start by finding out who your reps are so you can get in touch...NOW! :)

the video above blew me away this week.  just when i do the ignorant thing of assuming a certain political party or an entire generation can ALL think  a certain way on this issue (i should know better....shame on me)  something like this reminds me that it isn’t about any of that.  

open mindedness and acceptance and love can come from any direction.  this man is clearly a hero.  he has served our country again and again.  he has a big family.  he loved his wife. he is proud to be an american.  and...with the same conviction, he loves and accepts his gay son as much as his other children, and wants the same rights for all of them.  

watch this.  listen to his story.  please.  

none of us are asking for more than anyone else.  we just want to be heard, seen, and accepted as equal.  we do not want tolerance.  i refuse tolerance.  what i am and what i do in this world is not something that should be looked upon as merely ‘tolerated.’  

i am here, contributing to the world, in a positive way, and full acceptance is the future.  

love is the future. 

equality is the future.  

and it is coming soon...

peace
