42. This made me cry

Wed Sep 5, 2012, 09:59 PM

Sep 2012

I'm humbled by this man, his service to his country and his belief that he fought to be free to marry the person that he loves.

The world is changing and the Republicans are going to be left behind and eventually fade away. Our younger generation has a different "spiritual DNA" - and to me, it is almost as if genders seem to be blending a bit. As our generation accepts lifestyle choice and freedom as a matter of RIGHT, we teach this to our children. It's just not a big deal to them.

My grandchildren think nothing of it, it is part of their lives that some of their friends have two moms or two dads.

They just accept it - and they are our future.

Shine on,
Annette (with grandchild #3 due any minute! - and we are ALL PROUD DEMOCRATS!)
