I'm not gay, but I love gays. I support them and I have happily picketed for their rights. I was one of the 250 people that protested Fred Phelps when he came to Ole Miss, I must say that was one of those times where I was truly proud of my state and my community. I was also happily surprised, Ole Miss was farther along than I thought, not one person showed up in support of Phelps. Not one.
With all the talk of bailouts, and stimulus bills, and seriously just shut up Lindsey Graham, I noticed during the commercial break on MSNBC that Tim Gunn was in an ad for Tide. I just wanted to point out that an openly gay man was on national tv hawking one of the most recognizable products in the world.
It made me really happy, there is so much work left to do, but as someone who will speak out for gay rights until the day I die, I just wanted to point out the small steps of progress.
Much love to my gays.
PS Isn't Tim Gunn just the most huggable!?!
