On this day I remember. On this day we were neither Christian or Muslim, black or white, gay or straight, liberal or conservative, democrat or republican. On this day we were united in our grief...in the comfort we offered one another as we grieved as a nation, as nations grieved with us.

We are all human. We shed the same tears, our blood runs the same be you friend or foe. To honor those who have laid down their lives, involuntarily or voluntary, past or present, let us renew our resolve to first see our common bonds, to embrace our differences and love more and hate less to make this a better place. Let us do these things so that those who have died may not have done so in vain.

Extraordinary situations call for extraordinary actions by ordinary people....to take action not because it is easy, but because it is inherently the right thing to do. Let the legacy of 9/11 be about love, healing, recovery and embracing the strength we share when we come together as one, united through all humankind.

Our Heroes

As the nation remembers September 11, we look back at the edition of The Advocate that followed in 2001. In the days after the attack, we chronicled some of the gay men and lesbians who showed humanity’s true spirit — and who were among the thousands of Americans killed.

Normally Chris Young wouldn’t have been anywhere near the World Trade Center. But on the morning of Tuesday, September 11, the 33-year-old actor was temping for the Marsh insurance firm and had volunteered to shuttle reports from the company’s midtown office to the 99th floor of 1 World Trade Center. He delivered the reports by 8:40 a.m. and then got back in the elevator for what would turn out to be the longest and scariest ride of his life
