As A Straight, White, Catholic Man From A Rural Area....

[PennsylvaniaMatt]

I could not be happier for my LGBT friends, in person and here on DU, on this historic day!!!

This is a great day for equality in America, and I only wish that my uncle, who was bi-sexual and who died in the early 80s before I was born, could have been here for this day. He had to live in secrecy about his sexual orientation, and as he was dying in a hospital bed, his partner was denied hospital visitation.

On this day, we move one step further from that America, and move forward to a better and more equal America!

1. As a white woman in a rural area in Tn I would totally agree with you. I tell you the last

2 days have been a roller coaster ride. Yesterday I think we lost democracy but this morning we are on the right track going forward. Lets pray things get better.

Hopefully, Corbett will be forced to marry Pat Toomey.

6. This rural Iowa woman is soo happy for our LGBT citizens and in particular for

my best friend's son, who has endured much. One step at a time. Ready for the next step?
