I visited the Sheppard Foundation web site last night. While I admittedly was too tired to write about it yesterday, it did get me thinking about whether we do enough to prevent anti-gay discrimination. Do we come out to our friends and co-workers so that they can put a friendly, trusted face to the label? Do we volunteer and/or donate to organizations that are friendly to our causes such as the HRC, PFLAG or local GLT Community Centers to help them fight for our rights and protect the vulnerable among us?
There are many of us that are very fortunate and many more where fortune looked the other way. Are we there to stand up for our own? Are we a community united by external bigotry? Certainly, those who would discriminate against us grow more united in their opposition all the time. Get active. Do it soon before it is too late.
