Same-sex Weddings Begin in D. C.
Same-sex couples began marrying today in the nation's capital, under the new equal-marriage law that took effect last week. Place your cursor over the photo to view the caption. Congrats to all the newlyweds.
Great achievement for DC! Congrats to the happy couples.
I hope more states will follow suit soon. For some, it may be soon, for others it will undoubtedly be later (or maybe never).
CO used to be quite the red state, but it turned blue last election. Now, I don't know...we're looking kinda purple lately with the brownish tinge of old teabag stains here and there.
And to think just across the river in VA the Republican govenor is rolling back on gay rights/discrimination laws. This is why we need a federal law or Supreme court ruling. But that won't happen with the Bush/Cheney appointees. UGH!
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is discord, harmony; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy. Grant that I may seek not so much to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen.

We cannot all do great things, but we can do small things with great love.

My Story
click photograph to read
Churches say that the expression of love in a heterosexual monogamous relationship includes the physical, the touching, embracing, kissing, the genital act - the totality of our love makes each of us grow to become increasingly godlike and compassionate. If this is so for the heterosexual, what earthly reason have we to say that it is not the case with the homosexual?
It is a perversion if you say to me that a person chooses to be homosexual. You must be crazy to choose a way of life that exposes you to a kind of hatred. It's like saying you choose to be black in a race-infected society.
If God, as they say, is homophobic, I wouldn't worship that God.
