Editorials & Other Articles

I am sickened by this hatred, all the hatred, but I have specifically worked on LBGT issues for years. My brother died of AIDS in 2002 and I will never get over what he went through. I rode that horse with him 24/7 and have seen so many die with no one with them because of the cause of illness.

This increase in hatred of everyone except white, straight men is terrifying. It is coming for all of us soon, except white men, but I am guessing they too will have uncomfortable times of proving.

This article just triggered me. After we made significant progress in Kansas, of all places, after more work than I even imagined, it is beginning to roll back. I have stayed away from heavy involvement trying to heal myself from the hatred that killed my brother and so so so many friends. I would like to hope that his sexuality was not the cause but...

I know this has little to do with your article but it led me here and quite frankly I needed to get some of it out again, it has been bottled up for a while while Kansas went to work for us ladies and now back to LGBT issues. I am not too old, I think lol, to get up and out there and I have to hope our coalition has held itself together.

Sorry for moving some or a lot of the purpose of your post. I thought it was OK because death dealt out to people whose only crime is they are different comes in many ways. Death by prejudice comes in more forms than we are always aware of. I carry my brothers photo drivers license with me. He lets me know everything is OK. How I know that is between the two of us.

Giddy Up! Back in the saddle.
