There is nothing like a brand new life to make you want to change the world. As long as folks like Matt and company are fighting against the inequalities facing our generation, I rest assured that my son will grow up sharing the belief that individual lifestyles are to be not just respected, but celebrated.

We need to keep on pushing the agenda. LGBT rights and AIDS education/advocation are our generation's call to arms. Right on, brother(-in-law). We need to keep on pushing the agenda.

Like I've always said to the right wingnuts: If you're against marriage, then don't marry someone who's gay. Seems like a pretty good solution to me. Well, it's either that or move to Canada.

She sent me the link to your article. Your thoughts are spot-on and much appreciated. Keep 'em coming. Good genes must run in the family since you both seem to possess intelligence, awareness, a sense of humor and a desire to better the world. All the best, Aaron Cedolia Hi Matt,

I have always felt that if you can personally connect with someone "other" than you, you just can't remain bigoted. That's not to say that everyone who is gay is nice and therefore you should be nice to gay people, but certainly everyone who is gay (or Jewish, or Indian, or disabled) is a real live human being, and doesn't every human being deserve to be treated like a full fledged person? To me, it's that simple. Matt and I are a product of somewhat the same environment so it is no surprise that this piece really gets at the core of my thoughts on equality.
