Posting over the weekend will likely be reduced. We are headed for the Somerset, Pennsylvania area for the boyfriend's family reunions - his dad's is tomorrow and his mom's is on Sunday. While there we will also see a group of gay friends that we've made on the annual pilgrimages in prior years. Tomorrow we will be at one of his aunts' home just over a large hill from the site of the Flight 93 crash. It's always a good time and fortunately his extended family are completely welcoming of us as a gay couple.

Sadly, many LGBT individuals continue to be less than fully accepted by their families. It's both sad and an indictment of parents who cling to myths and religious doctrine disseminated by all too often morally bankrupt clergy. With every legitimate medical and mental health association saying that sexual orientation (i) is not and choice and (ii) not something that can be changed, why to parents embrace ignorance and reject their children? It's something that as a parent myself I just cannot comprehend.

I'll be putting up posts as I have the opportunity. Thanks to my faithful readers.
