Recently, I feel like nearly every day I'm writing about how the world has progressed positively. That makes me happy, and I can only hope such progress continues, preferably at a faster pace. On today, June 26th, 1963 President Kennedy visited West Berlin and declared "Ich bin ein Berliner" as encouragement of the destruction of the Berlin Wall (which later followed). In 1996 the US Supreme Court ordered the Virginia Military Institute to admit women or forgo state support. And in 2003, the same court struck down state bans on gay sex. Now if they'll only strike down state bans on gay marriage, I'll be merrily skipping along. I do talk a lot about gay/straight rights. That's what I call them because they're not just "gay" rights, they're rights based on sexuality, and just as all races should have the same equality, so should all sexualities. Anything that leans one way or the other is dangerous to our ideas of freedom. No, I'm not gay, or bisexual, or transgender, but I'd be proud to say so if I was. And if you wish to call me any of these things...well, I'll consider that a compliment.
