I know what it's like to be on the margins, to be mocked. Sadly, I know that there are still some in this country who struggle with their bigotry and old thinking. John and I have been called "faggots" over the fence of our own home. When on the campaign trail I was challenged for my perversions, one person wanted to make sure that everyone knew that I was gay because then no one would vote for me; that didn't work. This man denied my Christianity and tried to wield the Bible against me that day. That day, Minister Andrew Little stepped in and he said to this man "This is not about your religion. This is about your prejudice." Our society has come a long way, but we have a long way to go. Thank you, Andrew.
