Last week while on The View Judge Judy spoke out in support of same sex marriage. As wonderful as it is to have this conversation on network television, my experience is personal conversations have even more impact.
Do people know how you feel about the Republican Party’s continued attempts to legally prohibit gay and lesbians from having equal protection and rights under the law? It would be a wonderful thing to have the Republican Party make their homophobic rhetoric and evangelical ties a thing of the past, but I’m not holding my breathe and I’ll be using this blog as my bullhorn to express my frustration. I’d like to ask you to speak up as well. It wasn’t by remaining silent that the LGBT community and its allies were able to convince President Obama to support same sex marriage.

We have come so far with acceptance, but have much further to go. As a 44 year old gay man, I never thought this would even get this far, and it just reminds me that I would not be able to be the person I am today, if our fellow gay americans didn’t lead the way. With PRIDE month upon us, I am happy to be celebrating such wonderful achievements, and proud to be fighting that the rest of OUR country will follow President Obama & Judge Judy! -Louis
