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”.

Oh and by the way...
Happy New Year!
My hope is that the march towards full equality for my gay son and the glbt sons and daughters of parents everywhere continues unabated in 2011. Next stop?
Marriage Equality!
(Maybe then I can fold up shop and stop this seething...)
