This Thanksgiving, let's count our gay blessings


In the spirit of the season, Detroit News columnist Deb Price gives thanks for some GLBT blessings.

Even though it's been a tough year for gay rights on some fronts, we should all probably do the same.

I personally would like to give thanks for my lovely sister Gretchen and my 15-year-old niece Miranda who, I just happened to find out, are huge proponents of gay marriage.

They were both very disappointed that I didn't ask them to go to the Prop. 8 protest here in town a couple of weeks ago. I had no idea they were so supportive of the issue.

Miranda has a big "I Support Gay Marriage" bumper sticker on her myspace page and has plans to print up T-shirts that say, "I'm Christian and I support gay marriage".

Isn't that adorable?

Hurray for all of our Straight But Not Narrow supporters, friends, and relatives.

Happy Thanksgiving!
