The ending of this op-ed in the WashPost today nearly made me cry, and I'm straight:
I want to remember that today, too many people like me live in places where marriage rights are laughable, because they aren’t lucky enough to live in a place where freedom and equality were enshrined by founders into a system that arcs toward justice, sometimes surprisingly fast, usually far too slowly. Today, too many people like me are still being hurt and killed, kept from loving freely, made to lie, to hate and harm themselves. To all of you: We are out here, we are your family, we’re coming for you. Hang on, you won’t always be alone. -- Will Graham
