Why I Hope.
I remember the night
Harvey Milk was killed.
I remember the despair.
But I also remember people
gathering in the Castro that night
Passing around candles
And then marching
Like a luminous river of Love
To City Hall.
Sharing their grief
Showing up for one another
Being there.
Decades later
I was driving in the Castro
When Obergefell came down
I saw gay couples
standing in the street
Holding each other
And Crying.
The parentheses opened by despair
were closed by justice.
