Current mood:Feeling a sense of dignity and self-respect
Category: Travel and Places
PRIDE across America. Walk the Talk! Click on that link for our newest newsletter. PRIDE is being celebrated in various places throughout the world. Having been invited home to speak at PRIDE in Bellingham, Washington, we have been thinking about PRIDE and what it means. One definition for "Pride," in the dictionary rings true for us, A sense of one's own proper dignity or value; self-respect.

This year's international theme for Pride Month is "PrideNot Prejudice," according to InterPride.org. There is a great book to read. Check it out.
Making Gay History: The Half Century Fight for Lesbian & Gay Equal Rights

This morning, we had a conference call with Sodexho, whose PRIDE organization is bringing us in to speak at their headquarters in Gaithersburg, Maryland, as well as at their facility in Allentown, PA. Corporations are continuing to offer benefits for same gender partnerships that mirror those of married mixed gender couples. I believe that the challenge now becomes, "How do we get our own community to move beyond fear so that they can embrace these new benefits and 'benefit' from them?" Let us know what you think. -- Dotti

My girlfriend saw your website on a car on the I-10 in Phoenix.

Sounds like you have quite the mission.

Good luck and thank you for being out there!!!
