http://www.pamshouseblend.com/showDiary.do?diaryId=8792I'm a sucker for holiday tunes. And one of my favorites is "Grown-up Christmas List."
This season, with all that has happened, it strikes an even bigger chord with me, especially the opening line of the chorus:
No More Lives Torn Apart...
This was a hard year for our community. We lost too many lives to anti-LGBT violence. We saw amendments pass against our relationships, not just marriage but against civil unions and domestic partnerships in some states. We saw our right to adopt children taken away in one state. We greeted this holiday season with the news that some of our marriages may be dissolved against our will.
Lives torn apart...
