The Right to Love: An American Family

I always try to support Gay families in our community when I can. Jay & Bryan are two wonderful guys who began sharing their family's life on YouTube after Proposition 8 passed in California. They are wonderful examples of family values and that being a gay couple is not so different than any family. We all have hopes and dreams, good times and bad. Most importantly we love and we open our hearts to others. This is the trailer for their upcoming story. Please check it out.

Love is Never Wrong

Pride

Here in the United States it is LGBT Pride month. So many of us struggle so long with pride, in ourselves and those in our community. We seem to have to fight to just be us. A luxury many who are not LGBT take for granted. Even when we find our colors it is still a process of ever brightening them and showing them to the world.

So my suggestion is decorate yourself vividly, dance wildly, stand and watch with amazement, or just be whoever you are. In the end Pride is about being comfortable with you and the others in your community. It does not matter how you celebrate it matters that you do celebrate. Because respect and dignity should begin in yourself.

Here are some visions of Pride around the world. Hopefully under one of those rainbows you find the gold that is you. You are a treasure and the world should view its wonders. Happy Pride!
