We were excited to attend a beautiful commitment ceremony of our friends in Los Angeles. The weather cleared up for the ceremony at the private Los Angeles Athletic Club. As we entered the third floor we were greeted by many family and friends of the Gay couple. As we entered the opulent, wood paneled rooms, we were amazed by the historic detail of the venue.
When the ceremony commenced, 4 family and friends gave beautiful, heartfelt, speeches each sharing tears of joy and happiness. The grooms dressed in matching brown, well-tailored suits (both of them are good looking, tall, and thin so anything would have looked good on them) exchanged vows and rings each sharing their love and commitment to one another.
We wish them the best and even when its great…it gets even better! The best advice we can give is have fun and make each other laugh, the rest will work itself out.
I was discharged in 7/2010 from the US Army because I told the truth about my sexual orientation and refused to lie about my cherished lover and partner. I do not intend to lie about my identity or family in any portion of my service.
Remember there are people you do not even know yet who love you. As you continue your life, may you love yourself and have fun learning about the ones you love and will love you in return.
“A Pentagon spokeswoman says recruiters have been told they must accept gay applicants, following a federal court decision striking down the ban on gays serving openly in the military.
The Department of Defense issued new orders via email late Thursday afternoon informing all five branches of the military that they must comply with an injunction ordered by a federal judge on enforcement of “don’t ask, don’t tell,” according to Pentagon spokeswoman Cynthia Smith.”
In LA on Sunday, many walked for AIDS in the 26th annual AIDS walk Los Angeles, raising funds for AIDS research and hopefully, one day-a cure. Everyone is affected by AIDS. The disease sees NO race, creed, color, gender, sexuality, or age. I remember being a child, and being educated on AIDS. I was very fortunate to have family and teachers who (even in a Catholic school) kept up to date and educated us on AIDS and STD’s so that we were prepared for the future. We were taught that AIDS/HIV effects everyone, and everyone must take the proper precautions as we become sexually active. Walk on!
In past postings, we have supported Newsom for Governor and we were disappointed that he decided to resign from the race. However, we are very happy that he is running for Lt. Governor of CA which enables him to serve as President of the State Senate and the Acting Governor of California in the event that the Governor is absent from the state or is unable to perform the duties of office, or if a vacancy of office occurs. Here is a commercial we are in listening to Mayor Newsom on his plans for California. (You can see the back of our heads anyway)

According to reports:
No matter your sexuality, you are you, and you should never feel that taking your own life is the only way to escape bullying.
