I was reminded, yet again, this past Sunday at Coming Out Pride here in Orlando that we still have a long way to go, but we are getting there!
By this I mean that there were significantly fewer of "God's chosen flock" at this year's event....but they were still there. One particularly bitter and outspoken man was making some incredibly ludicrous comments as he pranced through the throngs of event goers. I found myself thinking that it's these people that incite the type of violence and hatred that led to Matthew's death as well as the countless others that never reached the height of media frenzy which surrounded this heinous crime.
I hope to God that someday people like this out spoken and ill informed man can realize that it doesn't matter WHO you love, but simply that you love.
