In celebration of today's Supreme Court ruling, the Los Angeles LGBT Center hosted a rally in West Hollywood Park on San Vicente Blvd. The crowd quickly gathered in cheer and celebration as members of local organizations took to the stage to share their insight on this important day in history. The Center's CEO, Lorri L. Jean spoke first, reminding us that while we need the stop and appreciate all that today means to us, we cannot lose sight of all we still have left to do. We need to take the momentum of this victory and continue the fight for true equality; a fight that will not end until all humans are treated equal. The fight isn't over, but today love won.
While we still have a long way to go, let us not get distracted by negativity. I have seen too many posts criticizing today's celebrations in favor of issues still at hand. The fight is made pointless if we do not stop and celebrate all our victories, big and small. Allow love into your heart today, and use its strength to continue fighting tomorrow.
