Thank you.

I just wanted to send out a big thanks to everyone involved in NOH8 campaign and EQNM. I think by being a positive example of an openly gay person it will change the minds of a few influential people out there. I think that if we can change their minds in their personal lives about what we want we can call on them in their professional lives and be recognized as a positive entity. I feel that it's about more than protesting and showing our presence just when we want something or when we're celebrating our sexuality on Central Avenue in the summer. We should be a positive addition to our community which is to me way more than just the LGBTQ one. Gay is just one part of me, I am also a twin, a boyfriend, an uncle, Hispanic, Christian and spiritual, a male, a taxpayer, a critic, a son and a friend to mention a few. I am speaking from personal experience but I believe that if you really want something you have to put in work for it. This, to me, not only includes educating and helping people be aware who and what we are, but also giving back to our community. I think it's about time for us to stop bitching about the dirty diaper and change it already. It might take a few tries, but I think with hard work and understanding we will be able to do something,... well real.
