I am referring to Mr. President Barack Obama’s recent proclamation that June is to be LGBT pride month.

First off, I absolutely celebrate our beloved president. I secretly call him my father. I get lost in his voice, like everyone else. Yes, he has enchanted the entire planet with gift of perfect speech. A very respectful notion of his was that he compared the work he has to do with that of turning a gigantic cruise ship. It will take some time, but eventually we will get there.

So, for the most part, I applaud his act here. I see the value in what he is trying to do.

All of that being said, part of me feels like it is just a temporary band aid for the huge, festering wound of a marriage equality de-boggle that has plagued our souls, and hearts. I am such a proponent of “one race, a human race”. To be reading this proclamation like we have been put into such a defined category was a bit disconcerting.

If we flip it a bit, and look at this from the viewpoint of the public that questions those who are LGBT, than if our “month” informs others from an educational standpoint, I am all for it!

However, at the end of the day, just how much education does someone need? Two people of the same sex love each other. That’s it. That’s all. Period. How we choose to handle our own lives is our own business, just as it is anyone else’s. It’s all quite simple.

Any shade of grey, where negativity is concerned against the LGBT group is totally destructive, as is any negativity in any other situation, weather it be personal or professional. So, why should we be “pointed out” as something that needs to be celebrated to begin with? I am who I am. You are who you are. Now, let’s ALL make a beautiful world (with LOTS of rainbows!).
