All my adult life, I’ve wondered if I would ever see this in my lifetime. I wasn’t too hopeful. It won’t happen. The country isn’t ready for it. Yet, it did.
I am so very thankful for these enlightened human beings who found in their hearts that equality is something that applies to all.
Equality isn’t reserved for a specific race, group or country.
Equality is for ALL since we are created equal.
We belong to the world, we belong to the human race and as such should be treated.
The words “thank you” don’t begin to express the feelings in my heart and soul. Yet, they will have to do because, in my mind, they embody the meaning of this decision.
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH, YOUR HONOR(S) HortyRex©
We ALL are ONE!!
