Today I posted the tale of my wife and I having our first threesome.  It was ridiculous and possibly a little funny, but I can’t help but feel it was too trivial for the day.

This morning our President said these words: “We, the people, declare today that the most evident of truths — that all of us are created equal — is the star that guides us still; just as it guided our forebears through Seneca Falls, and Selma, and Stonewall…” he said. “It is now our generation’s task to carry on what those pioneers began.  For our journey is not complete until our wives, our mothers, and daughters can earn a living equal to their efforts.  Our journey is not complete until our gay brothers and sisters are treated like anyone else under the law — for if we are truly created equal, then surely the love we commit to one another must be equal as well.”

I don’t care if you like our President or not.  These words are not just letters strung together in a speech; this is the compassion of nation reaching into the hearts of the marginalized and the ostracized.  We will always have bigotry.  We will always have those unwilling to accept, to love, to embrace… But so long as we cast light into the darkness, then this nation will never be lost.
