Beloved children of light, it fills me with great joy to see you helping one another and easing the burdens that you all are carrying in the world to bring about enormous positive change. You continue to protest peacefully and gather collectively in the streets and at the places of power so that you are represented truly in your requirements and needs.

Many of you are feeling brave enough to come forward in your lives and professions to be who you are in freedom. Active gay and lesbian athletes are being encouraged and supported by their heterosexual colleagues to be proud of who they are in all ways. Same-sex marriage is being approved by majorities in state legislatures, and this action is swiftly having a domino effect in the United States and across the world.

In Bangladesh and India, women are standing up for themselves and standing up for their sisters' protection and rights in the aftermath of violent abuse and unsafe working conditions. Men are coming forward to be true partners with them, and together they are healing the pain.
