LGBT in memoriam © Jud Burgess

A Year Ago Today...

June 12, 2017

a senseless act of hate and terrorism directed at one of America’s most vulnerable communities.

As a proud father of a gay daughter, it saddens me that there is still such ignorance and blind animosity directed towards the LGBTQ community.

Our president refused to acknowledge June as LGBTQ month although he hypocritically declared it a month to enjoy the outdoors and the ocean, right after abandoning the Paris Accord on climate change.

Governor Greg Abbott and the Texas Legislature are doing everything they can to deny gay rights, taking America years backwards.

Religious institutions continue to live in the Dark Ages when it comes to understanding and accepting gay people.

Parents turn their backs on their gay children, disowning them and forcing them on the streets.

Let’s open our minds and our hearts.

We are all one.
