What does that day, month and year mean to you? President Bill
Clinton used that particular day to declare ”Gay and Lesbian Pride
Month”. Nine years later, on June 1st, President Barack Obama spoke
to incorporate an even wider group. Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and
Transgendered citizens alike could all have this month for recognition,
respect and appreciation. However, I am aware that not all minds meet
equally about the rights and respect that we should pay to others. As
each generation leaves their footprints, and paves the way for what is
to come…to some, change is an impossible idea or action to put in
motion.
You know what? Often, this unfortunate reality is because of learned
behavior! As much as we may often preach that we like to speak for
ourselves, or outside the box, how many times have you caught yourself,
or someone you know repeating the thoughts of another before them?
