Historical Day
Tears are flowing. There is an excitement. I want to stand up and say finally we are going to be treating everyone with the respect and dignity that they so deeply deserve. I want to shout it from the roof tops for all of my friends who have waited so long. I want to pull away the darkness for all of my friends who have hid in the shadows hoping that their partners will be recognized. I want to hold the hand of my friends and raise them high above my head as if cheering for the most important game in history as the most courageous team experiences their victory. These are the things that I want to to do today. In the midst of it all.....my soul is filled with trepidation. I have longed to stand with my friends and rejoice with them as human beings. Respected. Dignity given. Equality given. But ..... I know that civil equality does not measure religious equality. I know that in the days and weeks to come that members of my flock will be divided.
