Progress..

Here is a sweet snapshot (Thanks Michael K!) of Ellen & Portia from their wedding last Saturday. The two wed in an intimate ceremony at their home. They have been together for quite some time now, and I'm very happy for them! It's great that California now recognizes them as a legitimate married couple. It shows just how much our society has progressed... Not to be a downer, but i really hope that this same type of sentiment transfers over to my community. It's sad that the Black community (the vast majority) can't be as progressive about the gay lifestyle as some other communities. I'm tired of hearing about closet-case "down-low" men. Who often bring diseases home to their wives/girlfriends. I'm hoping that stories of pride like Ellen & Portia's can be an influence to some poor soul suffering in a lifestyle that is not true to their heart. They hurt more than themselves when they live that way. They often hurt the ones who love them the most...
