As a child and family advocate, as a victim-of-legal-hate-who-is-told-he’s- a-”gay activist”, and as human being, I have [HAVE] to share your story and the many just like it.

The equality movement needs to help America imagine the shoe being on the other foot. Words like “civil rights” and “federal equality” do not tell of the horror experienced when rights are denied to families and children.

I felt uneasy inside writing this post about Michelle Obama, since I had to imagine something quite horrible, de-humanizing, and cruel happening to her innocent children and to her beloved spouse.

But then I realized that’s the point.

It IS horrible, de-humanizing, and cruel. So the LGBTQ community has every right to stop “asking” politely and start demanding the same protections and STOP this family segregation in civil law.

Your note meant the world to me – THANK YOU!
