What a perfect world this world would be If I was President, but I'm not.

Today I was appalled at what I saw in this country.

Today I saw people who rioted and people who cheered a man who built his campaign on hate and fear while playing on people's nostalgia for a past that never existed.

Today I was amazed at the what I saw in this country.

Today I saw people unite to protest injustice, to take a stand and to state in one common voice, "We will not go silent into the night"

I have generally kept my political opinions to myself. In the real world people generally people think I agree with them. I listen to NPR and I watch Fox News. I am a Republican and a Democrat. I have seen hate and I've seen love and I've walked the narrow line of ethics to do the right thing in companies that don't. In the past months I have seen hate grow, bigotry gain strength and the children taught that some people are better than others because of the color of their skin or their gender.

I am an American and I will not let this be the new normal.

I am not going to back down. If today is lost, then tomorrow I will fight. I will not stop fighting until I make this world better. For my kids, for my wife, for all Americans. Even those who do not realize that I am helping them.  I pledge that every day I will push to make things better in some small way. I am not sure where this path will lead me. Perhaps I will become an epic twitter fiend or a member of Congress. But I will not stop until we are all safe and given the same opportunities as everyone else and no one need fear discrimination.

And I know I will not be fighting alone. We will not accept that this is the new normal.

#prayfororlando #weareorlando #saytheirnames #notthenewnormal #silenceisacceptance #myvoiceismyweapon I woke up this morning, in my usual upbeat manner and ready for the new day. I told myself, no news today, no social media. Then, I found out a friend in Bangkok was gay bashed and recovering in hospital. I cannot, I will not ignore what has happened. I cannot, I will not ignore what IS happening. Nor should you! Therefore, I am back, reposting and sharing in the hopes that what IS happening IS heard, if not today, then tomorrow. If not by you, then by someone. Do not think for a second this doesn't affect us all because it does. Do not think for a second because you simply know and accept a gay person that you are doing your part because you are not. Listen to this man's story. It could have been you, your friend or family member, your coworker, your neighbor, your loved one. Silence is acceptance and I will not accept this as the new normal because my voice is my weapon! Please share if you feel so inclined Sending love, hugs, and harmonious vibes to you all
