A Prayer

Thursday was the 30th anniversary of Harvey Milk's assassination. In his honor, I write this to help move forward the conversation in the wake of Prop 8. It is a loving work in progress. I dedicate it also to my friends who died of AIDS and who are shouting from The Beyond: Do not miss this opportunity to forge transformation from this defeat. Do not forget us!

In particular, I honor Ken Dawson, Connie Norman, Marlon Riggs, Rand Schrader, Mark Kostopolous, Paul Monette, Tom Stoddard, and Gabe Kruks. They never forgot what really matters: love and justice.
