For the record, my oldest offspring is Trans and married. Furthermore, Beatrix identifies as queer and currently has a girlfriend. Trans rights, LGBTQ rights, and Marriage Equality are more than just issues to me. They are personal.

As James Baldwin eloquently said,

“We can disagree and still love each other unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist.”

That goes for my family as well.
