11. I must admit, that made me tear up a bit!

Robert F. Kennedy once said, "Few will have the greatness to bend history itself, but each of us can work to change a small portion of events; and in the total, of all those acts will be written the history of this generation." The LGBT rights movement is being written and advanced one personal story at a time -- in living rooms and churches and schools and city halls and even the Supreme Court. Today I'm choosing to add mine to this long and courageous narrative. If my story changes even "a small portion of events," then it is worth telling.

From your link.

Thank you William, that was beautiful.
