Mike had amischievous side and hewas always playing jokes on his friends. Hewas amost unusual person, friendly, a little reserved,with not a lot to say. He and Virginia met at high school and one day Mike told me they were getting married. I was honored that he asked me to be his Best Man. Even though those firstfewmonths were challenging, going to school, working evenings and week-ends, Mike would often invite me to his and Virginia's small apartment for lunch, to share a bologna sandwich. Mike was like that, reaching out to friends and family, to meet their needs. He made the most of whatever he had,"a life well lived." I'll miss you, Mike.

Rene Potter, dear friend from Tucson, coming to join us and provide this wonderful entertainment. For 27 years, OkEq has been here, working for equality, being a community supporter, providing outreach and services. For an organization which has grown from an annual budget of a few thousand dollars to one with a budget of a few hundred thousand dollars, one constant has been there, an absolute reliance on dedicated volunteers and board and recently a few loyal staff who work day in and day out for our important mission. I can only accept this very gracious gesture of OkEq by recognizing that every step of the way, what we have done has been a team effort sharing in our successes and dealing with our losses. We could not have done our important work without our allies and friends in the community. And the partners who provide the support throughout the ups and downs. Thank you John. We now have a center the entire community can be proud of. This new home is here today and will be here tomorrow. And for tomorrow’s generation. Most importantly, programs and services are offered to address a great need in education, advocacy and support. Services and space together imder one roof means that OkEq provides a beacon of acceptance in a nation, state and city which have yet to fully deal with their past and current biases. Without us, fighting on the frontier, where we would be? Where would the next generation find the voice for what is right? We should all have a renewed sense of hope for equality because of recent developments to which many in this room have contributed and to which all of us support. Let us continue our efforts, together Thank you so much, I will never forget the true meaning of this night – teamwork for equality!

Lincoln Blvd. Room #417A Oklahoma City, OK 73105 Re: Same-gender civil unions Dear Senator Williams: I am pleased to see comments in the press recently that the Oklahoma Democratic leadership recognizes that the Legislature has much more important business to attend to than the divisive bills introduced by various House and Senate members on same-gender civil unions. While I come from the position that such unions should be permitted as a basic individual right and liberty, it is also important that the state of Oklahoma not once again be labeled as backward and bigoted. This is not the image we need if we want to develop real economic opportunity for our citizens. As the two enclosed articles note, the states and cities which support a progressive and diverse work environment –including their gay and lesbian citizens - are the ones who will most likely move forward in their economic development. We should also be supportive of the thousands of Oklahoma families who have gay children or other relatives – and simply wish to have the same rights and responsibilities as of the rest of the population. We certainly do not want to codify in our state or federal constitutions examples of blatant bigotry, a legacy which would be ashamed of for generations to come. Instead, let’s take a deep breath – and pursue the real issues that mean a better quality of life for all. Sincerely, Dennis R.
