Happy to see so many happy
AT the parade today
and
IN the parade today;
families, teenagers,
politicians, church members,
seniors, cowboys and cowgirls...
Smiling, waving and enjoying the weather
in glorious Santa Fe.
"Es Mejor Saber""It Is Good To Know"
It is good to know:
I live in a city that accepts others
I live in a city where I am a minority ("white")
I live in a city where all generations come together
I live in a city with a "Rodeo" and a '"Gay Rodeo" in the same week
I live in a city where people in love hold hands
I live in a city where everyone; all colors, all religions, all beliefs - laugh
I live in a city that is relaxed
I live in a city that loves "The Arts"
I live in a city where people want to visit me.
I live in a city I love.
Unfortunately
I live in country
where some people continue to be persecuted
and where documentaries are still made
and stories are still told
of young people murdered for their beliefs.
"Two Spirits"
Tells the story of a young, native boy
from the southwest,
who struggled with two identities
and died trying to believe in himself.
During Gay Pride Week
please know
many in your circle of friends and co-workers and relatives
may be struggling with an identity
and trying to live their lives
in the only way they feel free.
It is good to know:
Rainbows are a good thing.
