I started sobbing when I first saw this video. This man touches my heart. He speaks out for his daughter even though he's obviously nervous. I grew up about an hour from Mr. Mathis, so I know how brave he is to stand out there with his sign, standing up for gay people in rural south Alabama.

My favorite quote is "It won’t be the first time I’ve done something to no avail, OK?" Truth! Sometimes you just have to do what you know is right even if you don't know what the outcome will be. I hope he was gratified by the outcome tonight.

Thanks for posting the letter. I hadn't see that. My heart goes out to this kind and courageous man.
