While we should always take a moment to celebrate our successes, we should never lose sight of our ongoing goals. Iowa and Vermont's victories are small consolation for the LGBT teens who are bullied and harassed daily in school. They do not make the decision about which public restroom to use easier for our trans community. They do not bring comfort to the employee forced to hide her sexual orientation because she cannot afford to lose her job.<BR/><BR/>Celebrating our victories is important because it reminds us that we can win. But lingering on them for too long does a disservice to our other efforts. I personally plan to spend this year's Day of Silence in contemplation of what small part I can play in helping to right these ongoing wrongs.Family Fairnesshttp://familyfairness.orgnoreply@blogger.com
