Maybe the devil will eat his cooked bod. Not that its necessary – he got digensted long ago.

We are no better if we stoop to the level of those who attack us and paint a perverted and incorrect picture of us. We must show those who call us evil that we are in fact not evil, but followers of a higher order. We can take evil taunts without throwing back the same infantile behavior that characterizes those we may think are our enemies.

The real enemy is within us, for we must not give in to the temptation to carry on the same spirit of ill will that came from bigotted comments and misguided ideology. If we do not, we help to perpetuate the darkness that thrives on an unsuspecting soul to carry it on to another person, another time another generation.

No, I do not care for the Senator’s characterization of the LGBT community and have been very vocal about correcting the fallacies he spouted, but I will not be responsible for engaging in the same behavior that makes us cringe in pain and weep in sorrow. Let it be burried with this man and let us work toward derailing this amendment.

I feel for his family – regardless of his personal ‘convictions’ and beliefs, his family still cares about him and will feel a huge sense of loss, and for that, they have my condolences.

As the political population of NC ages, and more and more politicians and their constituents of this ‘era’ of beliefs are aged out of the picture, our state will have a much better chance of being portrayed as the wonderful, accepting place that it really is. We haven’t been able to out-vote the legacy that’s out there until now, and the tide changes in our favor a little bit every single day that someone turns 18. We’re closer now than we’ve ever been – get your friends, family and co-workers who support equal rights and treatement under the law, out to vote on May 8th, and let’s put North Carolina back on the map as a state that promotes tolerance and acceptance, rather than bigotry and discrimination.
