Dear John,

That is so nice of you! Support for the LGBTQ+ is always welcome because it is support for all people. I fear some folks may not understand that the letters of LGBTQ+ means EVERYONE. It really does. Equality for all or no one is equal. We are all "One in a Million!" as Janis Ian would say! If you haven't heard Janis sing this with Joan Baez, I highly recommend it!

It would be a blessing if more people were willing to realize we are all mourning and celebrating someone who deserves our support!

May You Be Healthy, Safe and Happy....AND LOVED!
Reis
