The Choice Is Ours Now
The journey that Melissa Etheridge has taken is my own:
Brothers and sisters the choice is ours now. We have the world's
attention. We have the capability to create change, awesome change in
this world, but before we change minds we must change hearts. Sure,
there are plenty of hateful people who will always hold on to their
bigotry like a child to a blanket. But there are also good people out
there, Christian and otherwise that are beginning to listen. They don't
hate us, they fear change. Maybe in our anger, as we consider marches
and boycotts, perhaps we can consider stretching out our hands. Maybe
instead of marching on his church, we can show up en mass and volunteer
for one of the many organizations affiliated with his church that work
for HIV/AIDS causes all around the world.
Maybe if they get to know us, they wont fear us.
I know, call me a dreamer, but I feel a new era is upon us.
We are the ones we've been waiting for. And what we did this past year needs to be a beginning, not an end.
