I thought of another one. Y& #39;all, don& #39;t be mad.

I& #39;m grateful for my Brother-in-law, who is Very Gay, who came to the temple on our wedding day, despite all the emotional complications that come with waiting outside, just because he loves his mother and brother that much.

And I am PISSED BEYOND MEASURE that I probably won& #39;t get to be there for his wedding because of COVID-19. I want to show the same loving, unconditional support he showed to us. But I honestly don& #39;t know what to give him that even begins to compare.

I don& #39;t have anything, no gesture I can even think of to offer, that compares in what that cost him. Nothing in my relationship with him comes at that kind of price for me. And I didn& #39;t even have the decency to understand that at the time.

I do now though.

I& #39;m grateful for every person, especially every LGBTQ+ person, who shows up for their family with the dignity and grace that they& #39;re so often denied.

Sometimes, the rest of us are lucky enough to have you, to be changed by your goodness.
