You beat me to it. As in all days when I silently stand in solidarity with you my LGBTQ brothers and sisters, today is a day that it needs to be said.

As King has said "The arc of the moral universe is long, but tends to bend towards justice"

we have more bending to do, and together in the days, weeks and years ahead we will do it.

Go in peace my friends and know that there are millions with you to take the journey and do the lifting!
