If your city is not there is because your city does not allow same sex marriage or Partnerships or just simply have a non caring attitude to the gay people that live there. I know that things are changing as I type these words. Some Gay folks are fighting for their own lives. In some cities where they received rights after a lot of sweat, treasury and tears to now have to fight to keep them.  In others like NYC it all depends on what the Upstate gay and gay friendly folks do and how politicly active they become to get the Legislature to once again vote for gay marriage, but having it being affirmed  by both houses and the governor this time around.

At the same time some cities are fighting waves of anti gay violence. It is expected that violence wont let up until full recognition of our human and civil rights are recognized by the people we help put in political power, and vote in for judgeships in the courts.

A friend in FB commented to me and others: " That makes me mad"  My response was "cool, getting pissed off is the match that lights the fire."
