I'm also glad you found a man who fell in love with the person, not the gender because what's inside us all is what counts, not the shell that is with us for such a short period of time. <br />Live Long and Live Strong DC!<br />Thanks for participating in Hop and for the wonderful gift you're giving The Trevor Project!<br />Sandra Rush<br />taina1959@yahoo.com <br />http://enchantedrosegarden.blogspot.comRushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17531508356760896884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5945679778118659509.post-62219188584743210252012-05-20T19:42:55.021-04:002012-05-20T19:42:55.021-04:00What an amazing giveaway!

I want to thank all the people have brought about change and I hope for more change in the future. I hope to when day attend the wedding of 2 of my friends in my state. My state doesn't allow it yet but I'm praying they will soon.<br /><br />beckerjo at verizon dot netJoAnnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05506877820618987609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5945679778118659509.post-1042847873545388802012-05-20T19:18:34.573-04:002012-05-20T19:18:34.573-04:00Hi Danny, There was no doubt in my mind that you w...Hi Danny, There was no doubt in my mind that you would be among all the wonderful authors who are in the trenches to win the war on Homophobia.

She's right, no one had should have had the right to keep them apart.<br /><br />That joke your uncle used to say, it's funny that I actually heard that joke in Iceland - in Icelandic - many years ago. I don't find the joke itself funny, just that it traveled all the way over here and got translated. It was told to me in an "effeminate" voice, to emphases the "gayness". I was too young and clueless to wonder about it then, but I'd have a thing or two to say about it today.Erica Pikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01410036734790965799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5945679778118659509.post-50342303172087063782012-05-18T16:45:50.059-04:002012-05-18T16:45:50.059-04:00Thank you for sharing your story and for your gene...Thank you for sharing your story and for your generosity.L.M.

Being different ...Thank you for sharing your story. Being different in the South can be hard. As a lesbian in Alabama, I understand homophobia. I'm so grateful for the supportive family and friends my partner and I have had through the last twenty-three years. My parents don't understand my life but they support me and my mother played an important role in helping me survive infertility and conceive our son. Ten years ago, my sister and her husband separated and both came out. I believe that my coming out years earlier and my family's exposure to my life made it easier for my sister. At a family celebration a year ago, my son pointed out that of the five couples present, four were gay. He has no idea how unusual our family is. <br />Changing the subject, I want to apologize to you. Several weeks ago I won your goodie bag on the Cupoporn.net site. Everything was a hit and I had fun sharing with my family and friends. Thanks so much.Lelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10614419675534665824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5945679778118659509.post-181810056728955902012-05-18T11:17:47.120-04:002012-05-18T11:17:47.120-04:00Super, heartbreaking and heartwarming post, DC.
