Uncle Roger's Notebooks of Daily Life

Wednesday, June 02, 2010

Once again, we've rolled around to June 1st or, as it's known hereabouts, Blogging for LGBT Families Day. Unfortunately, this year I didn't really have time to write anything deep or insightful, let alone earth-shattering (not that I ever do, mind you) but I did want to get something written.

So I will simply share a video that demonstrates exactly why I care so strongly about LGBT rights. Here's a dad who understands the issue not just because he wants to teach his kids right, but also because his own parents experienced the same sort of discrimination, only, perhaps, a bit more extreme. Now he won't sit idly by while other parents are harassed, brow-beaten, and devalued.

He says he's not a hero but, like so many others have said, he is to me.

This post is part of Blogging for LGBT Families Day.

Journal Description

My life is, to me, ripe with frequent challenges, occasional successes, spontaneous laughter, adequate tears, and enough *life* to last me a lifetime. To you, however, it surely seems most pedestrian. And therefore, I recycle the name I used previously and call this my Notebooks of Daily Life. Daily, because it's everyday in nature, ordinary. These conglomeration of events that are my life are of interest to me because I live it, perhaps mildly so to those who are touched by it, and could only be of perverse, morbid curiosity to anyone else. Yet, I offer them here nonetheless. Make of them what you will, and perhaps you can learn from my mistakes.
