Letters to Finley: Stand on the side of Love.

I don't know how long it will take, but I am sure that by the time you are able to read and understand this, the issue of who can love who will be history and you will probably find it hard to imagine that there was so much hate spewed over the topic of love.

We are so lucky to live in a country where you get to be yourself, it is a freedom denied to many.  With freedom comes passion. Passion to practice your beliefs, speak your mind, voice your opinions.  This is all good stuff! But there is a second part, the second part is we ALL have the right to be ourselves and we have the right to do, to believe, to carry on as we wish, AS LONG AS, it doesn't affect someone else’s right, to do, to believe, to carry on as they wish.  It's that simple, but you wouldn't believe how many people forget that second part.  So my wish for you is whatever the issue is, be open, listen to all opinions with your ears, your heart and your head. Look at it from both sides, all sides, stand on your head if you have to and look at it upside down.  Then choose for yourself what is right, what is fair, find the answer that promotes love and doesn't discriminate, or take away someone else's rights.
 I hope you find yourself on the side of love,
I hope you promote it, defend it, and live it.
