We worship an awesome God in the blue states, and we don't like federal agents poking around our libraries in the red states. We coach little league in the blue sates and, yes, we've got some gay friends in the red states. There are patriots who opposed the war in Iraq, and there are patriots who supported the war in Iraq. We are one people, all of us pledging allegiance to the stars and stripes, all of us defending the United States of America.

But in one respect, I have succeeded as gloriously as anyone who ever lived. I've loved another with all my heart and soul, and for me, that has always been enough.
