According to the FBI, in 2011, 20% of the reported 6,222  hate crimes resulted from sexual orientation bias. I watched a wonderful documentary, Bridegroom, last night on the Own Network. It was about a gay man speaking about his relationship full of love, trust, and respect and how his partner's family never accepted their son being gay or his relationship. His partner's untimely accidental death and being shunned from the funeral lead to his message of acceptance and unconditional love for all. There are so many unhealthy relationships out there, how can people be bothered by ones that are free from violence and healthy just because it involves two people of the same sex? Don't understand!
See the documentary!

January is Stalking Awareness Month!

January is a time for new beginnings and a fresh start; however, many victims that endure the horrors of stalking do not find life so easy. According to the Centers for Disease Control, 7.5 million U.S. adults are stalked in one year. For this reason, more awareness needs to happen. The National Stalking Awareness Website can provide education and resources to help. You can also join the campaign to end stalking by tweeting or posting a message of hope or a stalking fact!
