Cull: Why Is Pride Important To Me?
By THERESA CULL
Los Alamos
Pride is important to me because it reminds me that there was a time when LGBTQ+ people could be harassed, fired from a job, dishonorably discharged from the military, arrested, beaten, and even killed for acting a certain way or loving someone of the same sex.
Pride is important because, even though life has improved and almost become normalized for many LGBTQ+ people, many of those same threats still exist today. I’ll remind everyone that the Supreme Court’s decision on marriage equality isn’t even 10 years old. And we all know that the current Supreme Court is willing Read More

Fr. Glenn: Most Worthy Loyalty
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
The last few weeks have been notable for an emphasis on patriotism. First, Memorial Day, in which we primarily commemorate those who died in wars defending our nation, its interests and freedom in general. Then a couple of weeks later we commemorated the 80th anniversary of D-Day—the invasion of Europe by the Allied forces to ultimately free it from Hitler’s totalitarian grasp. And this coming Friday, June 14, Flag Day, established by President Woodrow Wilson in 1916 to commemorate the adoption of the Stars & Stripes as the national symbol, later affirmed by Congress Read More
