Fabulous!!

I am thrilled with this news ! Equality and justice for all .

Its kind of funny, its the year 2008 and sometimes I think about how advanced we are. Think of all of our technological break thoughs, our space exploration, our medical triumphs. Its pretty amazing that less than 100 years ago we didn't have any of this stuff.

Then I remember how (by comparison) how slow our progress has been towards equality. We are still debating whether or not we are all equal. Its considered "historic" to have our first really viable black cantidate running for the highest office in our country, its "barrier breaking" to have had our first really viable woman competing for that same office. Our congress is still arguing whether or not to make it illegal to pay a woman less than a man for equal work. We are still trying to decide if gay citizens are really *people* who deserve the same rights and protections as the rest of us. We still are unwilling to stop starvation . We are complacent about laws that are designed to punish a specific segment of our population .
We have a long, long way to go.

I'm hoping this LGBT Caucus can help to end some of the mis-information and discrimination that is out there.

There should only be laws against hate, not love.


We aren't equal until we're all equal.
