Very cool This is history my friend you are taking part of. When you get older and look back on how things have changed for the better (and they will in time) you can say you were there and that you helped changed the way people think. As with change things take time. As with woman who fought to vote and people of color fought for the right to be free. You two will be able to sit back and say man it's been a long road but look how far we have come. Keep standing up for what you believe in!
