    Thank you everyone for the well wishes. Obviously after 16 years together this doesn't change our commitment to each other, but it was important to us to have the legal recognition, especially now that we're getting older.

    Just getting back home after a Pride weekend of the celebration of love, caring and solidarity I see "A man reaps what he sows" was tweeted by strongly anti-lgbt Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick one hour after 50 people were killed in the Orlando lgbt nightclub. My spirit breaks when I see this kind of righteousness that seeks to 'deny, demean and destroy anyone not part of a persons authoritarian ideology' whether that comes from a hateful group or especially U.S. politicians.

    Why are some people so filled with righteousness that they could say something so disturbingly hateful as Patrick did? Hate is a poison and in this case also undermines a precious value: freedom to just BE who you are.

    Alex shared 1 John 2:9….”whoever says they are in the light and hates their brother or sister is still in darkness” as I was upset about all this. I do indeed love her…..

    I was proud that todays parade was also saying to the face of bigotry and fear….we are here to say we will not shrink away, we will not be stuck in our homes because of senseless violence, we are out here to march, to celebrate our caring for one another, to show solidarity and to mourn those lives lost in Orlando. With a heavier heart I am Proud and Gay meant even more to me this year.

    Here is what the killer's ex-wife said about him: http://www.calgaryherald.com/news/wo...521/story.html

    So sad in so many ways.

    after a little over a month of planning, family and friends watched and celebrated Alexandra’s and my marriage last Saturday in Gordes. We’re staying in France this week and then traveling back home to the new journey of sharing our lives together.

    btw….thinking I’m not going to be on the net much for a while

    …..safe rides for all
