Yesterday, I was walking through the mall looking for gifts for my kids and partner. I came upon one of those signs you hang on a door or wall. On the top, it said "Family" in big bold letters, underneath that it said "Happy Holidays" and underneath that it said "Because Two People Fell in Love" and at the bottom "I (heart) my Family (heart) My Home". It all seems so simple. Except it's not.
My dear friends, family and fellow citizens I really don't want to sound like Scrooge but good thoughts and compassion are not enough. If you are living in NY and it's December you gotta make a call to your Senator telling him or her you support Family Equality and the right of same-sex partners to marry. You better believe that lots of people who are against it are telephoning in their "There's no room at the Inn" perspective. Hey guys, it's not about being right or feeling right, it's about doing right. This season, you want to actually give some Peace and Joy to a whole lot of loving people --make the call.
