Chris Crocker and Gay Bashing Online
After playfully posting my son's YouTube video, I watched this, posted on Bilerico.com.
When I first started this blog, I talked to Jeanine, Walter and Allan. I said, this could potentially be somewhat dangerous. Showing our children, showing our lives, standing out and being proud.
We all agreed it was worth it. If some people changed their minds about families with gay parents, then it was worth it.
Watching Crocker's video was a reminder. I've been very lucky to have supportive folks comment on my blog.
Say what you want about his short, "Leave Britney Alone," he did not deserve to be threatened, over and over again.
