I have always believed that people are taught tolerance as children, and then carry that into adulthood. I taught my children that just because someone looks different, or lives different or loves different, does not mean that they should be treated different. I truly believe that for the sake of our future and the future of our children we need to teach them that hate of any kind is wrong. Love is love, and the color of a persons skin or their chosen partner or whatever else should NOT MATTER! And who the hell are we to stand in judgement of who someone loves. I love this!!

We really can make a difference one step at a time. Today I made a donation to the Matthew Shepard Foundation because of another author's suggestion on her blog hop post. That's something I have never done before. I am going to try to start supporting other groups, too. Thanks for taking part in the hop! What a wonderful post with some great advice!

I've learned so much from all the personal stories. We have made progress but it's nowhere near enough. This has been a great blog hop. I’ve learned so much from all the personal stories.

Hopefully most people who stop by during the hop will take your encouragement to heart :) I'm reminded of the adage about eating an elephant one bite at a time - there's a lot left to do when it comes to gay rights and other civil rights, but we're getting there.
