Thank you so much for posting this! I've had the same hesitation to comment on the terrible recent events, fearing I'd alienate some people who've supported my writing. Finally, though, I decided I couldn't stay on the fence. Your blog helped me continue to support what really matters in our country.
Aw, Anne, I love that you said that! Thank you! Yes, it's a daunting prospect, because we don't want to alienate, of course, but we also must be our authentic selves.
We're frustrated by elected officials who aren't voting for what they believe in nor what's best for their constituents, but instead pandering to you-know-who. If we feel that way about them, then on our own less impactful but no less important scales, we should ask the same of ourselves -- authenticity, regardless of the cost.

At least, that's how I see it.
I'm glad you speak up. And it's nice that Pride is still going strong in some cities. it's getting scary out there.
Indeed it is. Thanks, Carl, for your support.
I really enjoyed and appreciated this Cynthia. Thanks for speaking up as you always do. It's inspiring.
Thank you, Stephanie. I appreciate you saying so, and I'm thankful for your support!
