"The Truth Having Been Told..."

After a long and bitter struggle, we've now had our day in court and although what the future holds for GLBT equality is inevitable, when that day will arrive now seems to be the question.  The court should issue its ruling in June or July and this much we can be certain of, things will change and the change will be in our favor.  Whether its incremental or sweeping change that the Supreme Court will bring to our struggle is still hard to tell, but there will be change.

Some perhaps saw our arrival at the Supreme Court as the end of a long battle for equality and justice, but the truth of the matter is this, until every loving couple can marry... until everyone can enjoy the benefits of our society without fear of revealing their hearts, the fight for rights is not over.  The fight goes on in small battles won everywhere everyday as we come out to our friend, families, neighbors and co-workers and let them see that we are just as human, and just as loving, and just as deserving of the freedoms that we all take for granted.

The incredible shift in peoples attitudes and beliefs about us in just the last few years has come about because people now know us and they know us as the people they've always known... we are their sons and daughters, their brothers and sisters and we are the people who have been their friends and loved ones all along.  Coming out is the most powerful weapon we have for fighting injustice and for winning our rights... Come out!  It's the way to freedom... Come out! "And the truth shall set you free..."
