About me:

..... I love my family! My partner, Kim & I have been together 10 years and our son, Khaya Ray Searcy was born in December of 2005! He is the greatest little person I have ever met and I am honored to be his parent. Unfortunately, the state of Alabama does not recognize me as his legal parent. I cannot make medical or educational decisions for him and I am not legally bonded to him in any way even though he does have my last name. I was denied parental rights in May of 06 without even a home visit strictly because of our sexual orientation. It is very discouraging, but I believe that the laws will one day change, even here in Alabama, It has to. We're a family and that's just the way it is. I have since become very involved with Bay Area Inclusion (BAI) CommUNITY Action Alliance and became chair in October of 2007. It is important that we all come together and show the state that families of all kinds exist and should be celebrated and protected.
