This brings tears to my eyes. I wish I could be shocked at the horrendous decision made by this judge and the lack of justice Ryan received, but sadly this country has very little tolerance for anyone outside of the projected "status quo." I'm terribly sorry that you and your partner also had to be subjected to such vicious hatred. I've devoted my life to fighting racism and discrimination and I hope to see a change in this world during our lifetimes. Thank you for being a strong voice and for speaking out against the hate
