Looks like Washington is heading in the right direction! Why don’t I live there again?

“Washington is now step closer to becoming the seventh state in the US to legalize gay marriage. The bill was cleared by a Senate panel called the Government Operations, Tribal Relations & Election Committee yesterday, with a 4 to 3 party-line vote. The committee members voted down several amendments offered by Republicans, including one that would have required the measure be approved by voters in November.

The full Senate will likely vote on the bill next week.” … READ MORE HERE

I wasn’t having the best day emotionally, but when I came home, b had a plate of fresh cookies, a note and herself in purple for spirit day. When everyone else falls away, I still and always have her <3

Be loud and proud of who you are and who you love. I’m gay and super head over heels in love with B! 1 year ago today, I came out to her and 3 other people.

I’m still the same person as always, just more self aware and happy for who i am :)

Target freezer window: “legalize gay marriage”

oh joys. god i hate this woman.

California Governor Jerry Brown signed into law today SB 48, the controversial bill which will require California’s public school textbooks to include the contributions of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Americans. This is a big deal that we’ve been discussing for a while now as we’d all like to imagine a world where everyday Americans know more about gay history than what was covered in Milk.

“In the face of a militant homosexual movement that is pressing for legal and social acceptance of homosexuality, the church must keep its focus. First, homosexuals are sinners like everyone and need God’s grace, love, and forgiveness. Second, homosexuals can through the miracle of the new birth be set free from the power of sin and live changed moral lives. The church must reach out to all sinners with the love of Christ, no matter what the sin. And we must never let the declining moral climate of our nation pressure us into condoning what God condemns. ”

If you have a chance, read James story. It is moving and real. I am not a fan of Teen Challenge at all or how NCU handled a lot of the guff going on.
