I am moved by a variety of stories--since they take the time for us to get to know more about the people involved. And All Things Considered lives up to its name...FelchingPisserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02458625059974106288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3633230367947296647.post-89918318285932194652015-06-29T08:08:12.917-04:002015-06-29T08:08:12.917-04:00There was definitely a really good vibe in NYC ove...There was definitely a really good vibe in NYC over pride! <br /><br />I have to confess that I often fight back tears listening to NPR and I really don't think of myself as emotional...

That the man who brought the suit and had such an incredibly touching story actually won? That it finally validates how I've lived with my life?” I suppose there was also some regret that it’s arrived too late for the long term relationship in my life. I wonder if we would have ever gotten around to a ceremony…I really have no idea.<br /><br />My Brother in NYC had a similar reaction to mine. He wrote: “I felt the need to go and gather with others in front of the Stonewall.” I could wish I was there—and not in my driveway…<br />FelchingPisserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02458625059974106288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3633230367947296647.post-66984335335456450772015-06-28T08:10:56.895-04:002015-06-28T08:10:56.895-04:00I love when you once in awhile give this part of y...I love when you once in awhile give this part of you!
