I recently attended Columbus Pride, a weekend intended to increase the visibility and acceptance of the GLBT (gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender) community. I understand that what we live in is a predominantly Christian, conservative area, and I’m not trying to change anyone’s mind here. I write about what I’m thinking about, so you might have read about my frivolous little life being married with children and I really love my life. What I don’t love is seeing people all around me who cannot live their lives the way I can because they’re not accepted everywhere. They’re discriminated against simply for being who they are and who they were born to be.
