Independence

Independence

As we celebrate the independence of our nation, we keep in mind the sacrifice made by our patriots on behalf of our nation. Although our independence was declared on July 4th, 1776, it would take our founding generation years of struggle before our nation finally secured our liberty. Likewise, as LGBT Americans, we deeply understand and affirm the totality of those goals set forth in that first declaration - that all Americans are created equal and are afforded by our Creator certain rights. These rights, while often burried by bigotry, are already granted to us by a jurisdiction greater than human government. They simply wait to be declared inherent and secured through the work of our struggle.
