I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.”

I’m still dreaming of a day when we’re all just accepted as people, no matter what our differences in appearance, expression, sexual preference or gender identity. Equal people.

Today it starts with me, my actions, my behavior. I sit here in wonder asking myself what I can do to live in truth, and remain present to this goal.
