Okay, this one put me over the edge. Yes, I wept too:
I live in Texas. Rights for gay folks around here are
sometimes hard to discern. Daring to hope for a future of equal marriage
rights often just feels futile. So you just tuck that precious hope in
the darkest corner of your heart and cover it with the thickest of armor.
Because in the absence of the dignity of equality, it’s all you
have. And they can’t have it.
Today, I celebrated with my Californian brothers and sisters
from a thousand miles away. I saw their faces, I read their stories and I
wept with them. And I dared to hope for myself and my fellow Texans, just
a little. My little hope has outgrown its dusty confines.
I
don’t think I’ll need that armor ever again.
