Since the horrific Orlando shootings, I have seen an outpouring of love and hope for the LGBT community. It is heartwarming to see such support, only I wish it did not take an act of violence for us all to come together.

So many people have used words of love as they comfort those who have lost so much, so tragically. But I have also heard talks about "tolerance." And in the words of Inigo Montoya from the Princess Bride, "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

I had a very different post planned for today. But after listening to NPR this morning, I felt something light just didn't fit. The attacks in Brussels tore my heart in two...Obama's visit to Cuba gave me hope for international relations.
