Sorry Man. I did what I could. No. Maybe I didn't. But I thought I did. Next time I won't make assumptions about the degree of tolerance in this State I am not so proud of at the moment.
One picture is worth a thousand words...
I see a beautiful couple, in love and in like and is this not the most powerful ingredient any couple, be them gay or straight, hope to enter into marriage with?
We love you guys, not because you are gay but because you are caring, wonderful, human beings...
We support gay marriage not because we understand what it is like to be looked at suspiciously or with some kind of morbid curiosity but because we have gay family members just like every other human family (some prefer to pretend they do not and for them i feel pity, only)
We support civil rights for all and we support helping our fellow members of civilization with a hand up, not a hand out...
It takes a village and it takes diversity to create a common ground...
Let's not allow ignorance and indifference hold humanity back any longer.
What have we to fear, but fear itself.
pressed for time, sorry if this is rough... it is just a draft...
We will be going to the mountains later in the day...
for a week...
keep us in your prayers and we continue same...
looking forward to building more bridges, like Uncle Arther, whom gets the credit for the Campbell's moving to Me.!!
