Never have had the opportunity to be at a rock concert where I could actually reach out and touch the person I was there to see. But, that changed on Friday night. Front row, center stage to see Melissa Etheridge, for the Minneapolis concert of her “Lucky” tour. I’m very impressed with this little lady. She sings and says what she feels.

This may sound odd coming from a gay man, who likes bears and hairy men, but this gal rocked and I respect her ideology. Stop hiding, be proud of who we are as a community, vote to change what we don’t like, and have an opinion, especially of things that affect the way we live. Her tribute songs to Matthew Shepard and Mark Bingham crossed the borders between lesbian and gay, songs that told the stories of these two individuals simply with the expression of the folksingers of the 60’s,. The song “Giant” is an anthem for all of us to unite under one Rainbow umbrella and let others know we matter, we are loved and loving, and we’re not going away.

My husbear and I hope her advocacy and commitment continues and catches fire across the GLBT community. God blessed us with a voice for our community, which filters into all aspects of who we are, what we believe, where we may be going, and also where we all have been.
