Well here we are living in a world of misunderstanding, perceptions and assumptions. Its time to change. Let's us try to love one another despite differences. Whether we are Black, White, Hispanic/Latino, Asian, Native American, Gay Straight, Bi-Sexual, Transgendered, etc. Now is the time for understanding and tolerance. We need to understand that those of us that want change need to come together and speak up and be heard. With the future comes change. Change in our society, culture and hearts. Issues like Gay Marriage, Gay Adoption, Don't Ask, Don't Tell etc are issues that need to be addressed either through peaceful civil disobedience, writing to officials, voting, and media coverage and exposure. There are organizations like the Christian Coalition, Promise Keepers, Focus on the Family, Family Research Council, Concerned Women for America, American Family Association, Exodus International and associate, The National Association for Research and Therapy of Homosexuality, The Eagle Forum, Traditional Values Coalition, American Center for Law and Justice, Heritage Foundation, Rutherford Institute etc that profit from openly discriminating, harassing, and blocking Lesbians, Gays, Bi-sexual, and Transgender (LGBT) people from basic human rights. These organizations must be stopped. Don't give them money or contribute to there bigoted notions of the "Gay Agenda" On the other hand there are other organizations that need support in our (LGBT) community's fight for acceptance and Interests: equality. These organizations include: The National Black Justice Coalition http://www.nbjcoalition.org Equality Maryland http://www.equalitymaryland.org/ Human Rights Campaign http://www.hrc.org/ Maryland Black Family Alliance http://www.marylandbfa.org/ PFLAG (Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays) http://www.pflag.org/ ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) http://www.aclu.org/ GPAC (Gender Public Advocacy Coalition) http://www.gpac.org/ NYAC (National Youth Advocacy Coalition) http://www.nyacyouth.org/
