When Do We Start to Make a Difference?
If a picture paints a thousand words, what must a video paint? This morning I am thinking about how we use our time and energy and the results of the investments. So, as I think about DOMA, DADT, Prop. 8 in California, Amendment 2 in Florida, and murder, I wonder when it becomes personal enough for me to act or react. What will it take to make us all activists? Come out, come out, wherever you are.
Watch this YouTube video of the candlelight vigil held this past Thursday in Orlando. Would we respond more or differently if we actually knew this guy as a friend or family member?

A candlelight vigil was held for South Florida hate crime victim, Craig Cohen, in Orlando on October 15. Led by Micheal Vance of GLBT Center, and Rev. Linn Possell. Produced by V. Nantz. Craig Cohen was beaten and robbed in April 2009 and remained in a coma until his death in October. The Broward Co. Sheriff confirms it is being investigated as an anti-gay hate crime.
