I have a dream – that someday people who love each other, regardless of their sexual orientation, will be allowed to marry.

I've tried for a few weeks to make excuses for not writing this column. It's likely going to be the least popular thing I ever write for this newspaper, but sometimes what you believe is not what's popular. And, I figure, if my close friends sat idly by while I was being ridiculed and belittled, that would be an unforgivable offense and I cannot continue to be quiet about an issue for which I feel so strongly.
