This Thanksgiving when we sit down for dinner we’ll have a whole long list of things to be thankful for. For friends & family, food & community. Especially for our openly gay & lesbian sons & daughters home safe from war today & for the hope of world peace someday. For the privilege of being part of a great nation conceived in liberty & dedicated to the proposition that all are created equal. And for the hope that someday soon this will include giving thanks for full equality for our LGBT community. Let’s work harder & see if we can get those evasive 1,138 federally protected rights for our families next year & take another step closer to actually being a nation where liberty & justice for all really means all.We Wish Our LGBT Community & Their Families a Fabulous &
Safe Thanksgiving Holiday Weekend....:)

On Thanksgiving, I can't help but pause and reflect. When I look back, I'm humbled by the thing I'm most thankful for, our LGBT community. In just the last 12 months, you've driven the repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" and helped win marriage equality in New York. I'm in awe of what your time, activism, generosity, and dedication have made possible. As we look to the year ahead, I know that our work will be difficult. But having seen how hard we have all worked to get us this far, I know that together we are ready for the challenges ahead. So from all of us and from my family to yours – I want to wish you all a very happy Thanksgiving.
