Hi Anita

You stopped by my blog…thought I’d return the favor as it were.

Even though I of the non-theist persuasion… I stand with you in your righteous stand for equality in the eyes of the state.

This is NOT now, nor should it EVER have been a religious matter. After you commented an individual commented such that I was equating homosexual civil rights to rights for pedophiles.

It is that type of sheer IGNORANCE we fight against.

STAND FAST STAND STRONG YOUR DAY WILL COME!

We’ll be praying for grace and peace in the midst of this protest, Anita, as you’ve said, and my partner and I will be joining our local protest in Cincinnati at 1:30 pm EST.

I’ve been following all that’s happening and reading your blogs, grieving with you but keeping in mind that this is a process. It’s just painful to watch and read about what you’re going through in CA. Keep the faith!

Yes, Anita: I will join you, D and anyone else in taking that moment amidst our collective release of (fill-in-your-emotion-here) as we come together to say, “Enough!” Amidst my pain last week…and upon reading the news release sent to the Florida media by the Yes2Marriage campaign, in which they were taking pride in their accomplishment and thanking God for delivering them from the threat of “the others”…my eyes landed on a passage of scripture that I think quite nicely sums things up:

Those who say, “I love God,” and hate their brothers or sisters, are liars; for those who do not love a brother or sister whom they have seen, cannot love God whom they have not seen.”–1 John 4:20.

Funny, I never seem to hear those quotes from those who oppose us. Here’s to God’s grace, and moments of solidarity.
