Today is the first wedding anniversary of my two dads. They have had a partnership for fifteen years, and were civil union-ed in 2001, but it has been only one year since they were legally wed by the state of Vermont. On this day when we celebrate our country's freedom, let us not forget all of our citizens who are denied freedom--freedom to love, freedom to live without fear, freedom most of us take for granted. Let us vow to continue working toward a world in which everyone is granted equal rights, and no one is shamed for who they love, or who they are. Let us remember how lucky we are to live in this great nation, but not forget how much work we have left to do.
I wish all of you a happy, safe holiday full of love and light.
