Thanks for this much-needed commentary. This month, I marched in a Pride parade for the first time with folks from our church, and it was the most inspiring thing I've done in a long time!

That's wonderful you had such a positive experience marching in your local Pride Parade. It supports the quote Rod used in his letter from Bayard Rustin that said: "When an individual is protesting society’s refusal to acknowledge his dignity as a human being, his very act of protest confers dignity on him." May we all summon the courage and determination to protest like you did, Steve, and restore some of our own dignity.
