A friend sent me this video from YouTube. I have never seen it. Brett was a West Wing fan, but I never got into it. It’s funny how the “religious” right plays with verses from Leviticus. They are blind to many but cling for dear life to others. Watch it and enjoy!
Happy Anniversary Honey!
Today is our anniversary. As gay couples can not marry, we must choose a significant date to observe our anniversary.
