I happen to have been born a straight male, and yet I don’t have to be gay or bi or trans to stand with my LGBTQ+ brothers & sisters in their struggle for justice & equality … In point of fact, I don’t have to be anything to stand up for what is Right and I don’t have to be any particular way to stand in the way of what is Wrong … And when it gets right down to it, smashing ignorance and oppression is what we have ALL been called to do. Indeed, tearing down the pillars of ignorance and washing out the bogs of bigotry (be they vilifying others based on race or gender or sexuality or species) is the only way humanity will ever know any semblance of real evolution or experience even the slightest portion of real Enlightenment … Rising up to take an often-uncomfortable stand against the embarrassingly normal forms of prejudice and discrimination and bullying and xenophobia that still plague our society is what we have ALL been summoned to do, my Friends … It is our greatest challenge to date, it is by far our most important task, and it MUST be addressed with volume and with vigor and with caring and with courage.

So, that having all been said, how about joining me in doing so!
