Always moving toward equality

On tonight’s evening newscast I watched a story on a New York City mayor taking the oath of office whose marriage to an African American woman would have been against the law in a third of our states 50 years ago, and it was reported by an openly lesbian wife and legally married new mom, whose partner is also an openly lesbian reporter for the same major national network.

To those who may be frightened that the world they once knew will never be the same one they grew up in, do not be afraid. We are all brothers and sisters, and treating each other as equals in every way diminishes no one. If we worked together as a team instead of fighting, the world would be a better place for everyone, and we would have more things to enjoy. Love is a great multiplier. Hate tears at the very fabric of the world.
