I seethe NOT because my son is gay. I seethe because he lives in a country in which some elected officials find it politically advantageous to deny him dignity, basic rights, and protections. I seethe because there are people who preach hatred and discrimination towards gays yet claim to be "good" and "loving" Christians. I seethe because there are groups who claim to be "advocates" for the family but who work to do great harm to any family that doesn’t fit their narrow template for “normal”.

They shouldn't have to do this alone - a call to arms for straight allies everywhere
Go to this link, find your state, determine the correct time and place, make your sign, and then, be there for our gay and lesbian brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, friends, neighbors ...
We must help them fight back, unless of course you like the Mormon Church legislating their religious beliefs into your laws.

I hope you'll let us know how the protest in your area goes.
I won't be participating, mainly because I have a dance class at that time. As I consider my dance classes a part of my spiritual discipline, I don't feel right skipping it, even for a worthy protest.
