      <![CDATA[Your bravery to confront homophobia in a conservative environment is to be commended and serves as a great example for everyone to follow. This is how we will achieve equal rights for EVERYBODY, on a person to person level. It aint easy to get people to pull their heads out of their dogma, but it will happen.

      <![CDATA[Thank you Tina.  Very well written.<br />
<br />
I have had the great fortune to live in Los Angeles and when my partner had a minor stroke the hospital (and our gay doctor) were amazingly inclusive of both of us.  As was his family.<br />
<br />
Our very good friend lost his partner to AIDS a few years prior and his partner's family came in and took everything that wasn't nailed down from their apartment.  He wasn't informed of when or where the funeral was to be held and when he found out he was told he was not allowed to come.<br />
<br />
And your letter did indeed make me cry.  Thank you.

      <![CDATA[I just got back from the craft store with all the gear to make two signs - one for me and one for my two children to take turns carrying.  Last night I had a big talk with them (ages 8 and 9) about what we will be doing tomorrow and why it's important and they're really excited about it.  <br />
<br />
Now if I could only think of something clever to write on them ......
