MOM

In wishing my mother a happy thanksgiving the other day, she tearfully called me an "angel." She said that Ive never been like others and now that Ive come out, I never will be so... therefore she has come to believe that I am an angel sent from God.

Angel I know I'm not. Thats for sure.

but if a woman who is deeply religious, traditionally old fashion and completely ignorant of the gay movement ... can see her gay son as an angel... then maybe the hopeless political wars between religious rights and the gay rights may not be so hopeless after all.

Be the change. Hope the hopes. Love.
