July 4th will mark the 50th Anniversary of the Philidelphia march for equality...despite the possible job loss, incarceration, or injury to themselves, people marched and stood up for human dignity.

When people tell you that same-sex marriage or even our civil rights have happened too fast, remind them of the days when people were dying of aids ( of anything really) and their beloved "partner" could be shut out and excluded from all visits and choices by families or medical professionals, and we had no rights. Remind them that in some places in 2015 IT CAN STILL HAPPEN, and ask them if we should wait until everyone is "comfortable" with us having the SAME rights as they enjoy.

The same rights not more, and God dammit it all not LESS!

Anyhow...this waiting for news is killing me...hopefully tomorrow?
