Stonewall is Tel-Aviv!

Now back to work.

I'm glad there are so many people out showing their support. This brought tears to my eyes. *hugs*

Ditto, pretty much.

I've been crying for a while now...

I have a pillar candle lit and it will stay lit until it melts down completely.

Though my faith is constantly wavering, the LBGT are among my prayers. I don't think that if God existed he would deny love just because a woman who was in love with another woman or a man in love with another man. Why should it matter? Love is love. It's pretty much the only constant that cannot be measured by science. That's what makes it so strong.

If only strength in thought and voice could stop irrational and stupid hate...

My thoughts are with you as well right now. Please be safe.

That is so very touching, thank you.

If you don't have faith in something "outside" yourself, that's okay. I don't believe in god, but I have faith in myself, in my friends, in my community and despite everything, in the concept of humanity.

Words like yours strengthen my faith. Thank you.

I find it harder and harder to follow any religion with the way the religious zealots like to interpret things to their own views.

It's words like yours that make me think there could be some hope for us all.
