Tis the season. I'm spending today researching charities. →[More:]

I've decided, despite having been out of work for over a year, that I don't want anything this Christmas. My mother asked me what I wanted via e-mail, and I plan to get back to her today. I'm looking into various charities. I'm also planning to donate on behalf of my various family members to appropriate charities.

I'm donating to NJ Equality on behalf of my brother and his boyfriend. Their picture was in the local paper last week, attending the rally in Trenton!

So, if you're feeling generous, please consider donating to the cause, and help legalize marriage equality in New Jersey. The legislation is under consideration right now, so hopefully we can start off the new year with some positive news.

And please remember the less fortunate. Sometimes it's hard among the commercial messages this time of the year. But please remember the reason for the season.
