OK, so, before I start with the unexpected horrors and near-death experience of my life...
...I'd just like to say well done America! I honestly never thought that I would ever see a non-white president, and I'm pleased as punch to be wrong. And for my friends that are hurt and saddened by the various bans on gay marriage? Well, look at it this way; the lady who refused to give up her bus seat to a white oik is still alive (or was very recently, IIRC) - and from there to here in living memory?
That's impressive.
So hang in there, my friends. Keep fighting, but do it with grace, do it with manners, do it by being there and showing people that there's nothing to be afraid of, because fear of the other is where they're coming from. Live, love, and refuse to be bowed down. And one day they will realise that there is nothing to be afraid of, and we will win.
( All done! Now, what's been happening here in Slaymaker Towers...? )
And with that, I'm off to bed. Love you all!
