But perhaps in facing down adversity we begin to realize who we really are. What I’ve realized in these past few weeks is that the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community, while comprised of so many different groups and interests, is stronger than ever. Though we may take different views on issues, as some of us have regarding this important legislation, we are hardly fractured (as a few columnists might like to believe). We are standing tall as a powerful force for civil rights in this country.
