(Thanks, Kathy - what an advocate you are, and I know Ken was proud. - promoted by Pam Spaulding)

coming-out-day(I know this is preaching to the choir here, but some days I need to remind myself of these things.)

Today is National Coming Out Day. Tomorrow is the official dedication of the Ken Baker Equality Center in Montgomery, Alabama. I wish every day that my brother could have lived to see a time when the Center would be only a gathering place, a place for fellowship and celebration, a place to honor the past. A museum to house the relics of the struggle for equality long since obtained, in law and in actuality.
