"We're all water from different rivers,
That's why it's so easy to meet,
We're all water in this vast, vast ocean,
Someday we'll evaporate together."

-- Yoko Ono

I was raised to be a conservative Republican and used to be a born-again christian but escaped from the hateful teachings of the evangelical cult, their anti-American and anti-Christlike racism, ignorance, intolerance, authoritarianism and all of their selfish, greedy and misguided values and finally found freedom and happiness.

I've now enjoyed sharing over 26 Years of Gay Marriage with my husband Mike. If there's a next life I hope to be reincarnated as an Afropean lesbian traveling Europe on a motorcycle.
