Losing battles, winning the war

Dear Opponents of Equality,

You can feel it approaching, can’t you? Victory for those of us who seek equality under the law is looming on the horizon. Our shared concepts of marriage, love, sexuality and family are changing.

We get that you might be worried or afraid. Change is difficult; especially if you’ve had things go your way for, well, most of history.

What you’ve failed to grasp is that the right to define those terms is not YOURS alone. All of us in a free society can contribute to the understanding, the definition, and the reality of what makes a family and what defines a marriage.

We can, and have the right to, make those life decisions for ourselves.

All over the country, including my home state of Tennessee, federal judges are ruling that our Constitution affords equal status and that there exists no reasonable justification for denying us the ability to control our own lives.
