When the subject swings to LGBT bashing I will always vigorously defend them from the bigotry that is usually leveled at them.

As I also know in some small way that includes myself and could very well include my kids one day.

When my friend and former work colleague whom I admire for her honesty and bravery when she came out as her femme self.

She came out when I was on vacation.
(She doesn’t know about Rebekah, though I have thought about telling her)
When I was told by my then departmental boss

The first word out of my mouth was “and”

Then told him how I admired her for her bravery. Having the guts to say this is me and this is who I am.
