Truths Told

I will, here in this place, MY place, say the truth:

• Adults may choose to love who they will.
• Marriage equality is the right thing, and inasmuch as we deny that, our society is poorer for it.
• Healthy sexual intimacy between consenting partners is a good thing, and it is not the business of anyone outside of the relationship.
• A woman's reproductive health choices are hers, to be made by her in consultation with her doctor and her family.
• Children who are wanted so intensely by their parents that those mothers and fathers are willing to undergo the rigors and agonies of artificial insemination, or use a surrogate, are just as precious and just as valuable as any other child.
• The rights granted by the constitution of the United States should not be abrogated by any institution.
• Workers have the right to negotiate with employers.
