Tuesday night was full of raucous celebration tinged with disappointment for the LGBTIQ community, in California and across the country. Despite our best efforts, we did not succeed in halting the tide of anti-gay initiatives in the states seeking to pass them.
It is clear that while our country is ready to make strides in many areas, granting equal rights to its LGBTIQ citizens is still being used as a flash point to create division and fear. I have hope that will change. I know the power we have discovered in our unity will continue to grow. Marriage equality is only one part of our fight, one battle on the road. The true goal is equal treatment under the law. Boulder Pride is part of a statewide network of LGBT Centers working to create that possibility together.
We want you to walk with us on that road. Volunteer. Donate. We need your support as we work to create the world we want to live in. We have come so far in our struggle for equality, Colorado especially has much to celebrate, with your support we will go farther.
And today, we will celebrate how far we’ve come, knowing that it’s not as far as we will go.
