I Am
Found this in some earlier posts & thought it worth bringing to the forefront
I am the mother who told her lesbian daughter to invite her girlfriend over for dinner.
I am the father who punished his son for calling you a fag.
I am the straight man who welcomes your company and sees no reason not to treat you like an equal.
I am the preacher who told my congregation that love, not hate, is the definition of a true follower of God.
I am the man who argues (quite loudly and vehemently) with the bigots who insist that you do not have the right to marry or raise children.
We are the high school class who agrees, unanimously, along with our teacher, that love should be all that matters.
I am making a difference. Hate will not win.
