Happy Holidays!!!
I hope this finds you all in wonderful, cheerful spirits. I wanted to take this moment to bring to your attention some issues pertinent to LGBTQ people around the globe. As we all prepare to take time off work and celebrate the season with our loved ones, let’s remain strong and united in the struggle for human rights.
Hate does not take a holiday. Neither should love and equality. Presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich has joined other hate mongers in signing the anti-gay marriage vow and LGBTQ Puerto Ricans stand to lose their protection under current hate crime laws.
When you prepare your year-end gifts, please take a moment to support, monetarily or otherwise, those people and organizations that continuously fight for your rights. If you’re at a loss, start with the Human Rights Campaign (@HRC).
And if you, like many others, find yourself alone or with non-traditional “family” for the holidays, don’t fret! Be thankful for the people and things you do have, say a prayer for those who have even less, and make the most of the season.
When life hands you lemons, make(lemon-flavored) eggnog!
‘Tis the season to be loving!
