“Heartbroken by the tragic, senseless deaths and inhumanity- the world has watched as extremism has grown in the middle east- terrorist organizations, including political parties of any kind, that advocate for, much less carryout, violence on any other state, religion, ethnicity, orgin, or community of people are neither avengers nor peacekeepers, they are terrorists and war mongers! For a two state solution to be found, there must be a complete commitment by both states to exist, and to exist in peace. Praying for all the innocent blood and souls we, and I mean all of humanity, lost in these past days”. - Stuart Milk

How I Handled Homophobia In My Third Grade Classroom It is not only my opportunity, but my responsibility to educate my students on these topics.

Even though I am not a huge fan of the big bank system I am posting this because as a 52 year old gay man with two, almost adult children (one is 19 and the other is 16) that my now husband (and if you do the math you'll understand why I call him my now husband) and I have raised since birth, and in consideration of all the remarkable things we have seen accomplished in the GLBTQ community in our life to date, I get a big smile on my face when I see something like this Wells Fargo add that reflects my community. Thank you Wells Fargo I just want you to know how much this is appreciated. I believe Harvey would have been extremely impressed.

If you ever wondered the difference between you and me, know this, I would let you live even when you'd rather me dead.

Stunning, heartfelt, amazing read.
