I was so excited last night when both Sean Penn and Lance Black won Oscars for MILK. I'm sure most of you saw the speeches, but's it's always worth watching them again. It's the first time I can such a powerful call out for gay rights at the Oscar's. In the past we've heard a nod to a same sex partner, but nothing like what we heard last night. Times are-a-changin'!
This was totally awesome to
This was totally awesome to see!!! I really hope people who were watching take it to heart. We're someone's son, nephew, uncle, father, cousin, co-worker, best friend. How could anyone deny the same rights to us that members of their own families have....because we are part of their families. This puts a very human face on something that a lot of people out there simply choose not to think about. It's hard to hate or discriminate against someone you know......and we are everywhere, and have always been.
On a side note, that "don't divorce my family" video from the courage campaign just about broke my heart-everyone should check it out and watch the full video and then email the link to someone you know, even the ones who think we don't deserve to be full citizens. Maybe it will make them think. And stop hating for nothing.
