Here’s an excerpt to accompany the previous one. Gay pride isn’t about  “rainbows, fags and dykes” like most assume. They are protesting and marching for a reason, just like the black protesters and marchers for the Civil Rights Movement. Gay pride is about freedom, equal rights, liberty, and THIS:

- I am the guy who came out to the entire school in his senior speech and got a standing ovation for his courage.
- I am the girl who kisses her girlfriend on the sidewalk and laughs at those who glare.
- We are the couple who planned and studied and got a damn good lawyer and BEAT the state that wanted to take our child away.
- We are the ones who took martial arts classes and carry pepper spray and are just too dangerous to gaybash.
- I am the transgendered person who uses the bathroom that suits me, and demands that any complaining staff explain their complaint to my face in front of the entire restaurant — and shares with my other trans friends which restaurants don’t raise a stink.
- 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 preacher who told my congregation that love, not hate, is the definition of a true follower of God.
- I am making a difference. Hate will NOT win.

Why am I posting this? Because religion is the cause for why Gay Rights is such a controversy. Just like we have MLK day and celebrate the Civil Rights Movements today, and wonder how could we have been so stupid back then, the same thing will happen with homosexuality 40 years from now. Love is love, and that’s what marriage really is about. Religious groups are the ones ruining the sancticity of marriage, not homosexuals
