Chad
with Judy Shepard, the mother of slain gay student Matthew Shepard led
Soulforce's 1000 Watt March on Focus on the Family. The event was to protest
Focus on the Family's misuse of research to bash gays and their families. Chad
spoke at a rally after the two-mile march from a local park. He invited people
present from Focus on the Family to come down and meet the members of his family
so they could see how normal they are. Chad and Judy presented representatives
from Focus a photo album showing images of gay families who had participated in
the march. More Info

Chad
appeared on the
Larry King
Live show on January 17, 2006 - 21:00 ET on CNN. This is the second
time
Chad has been at the table
talking about gay-marriage and standing up for what he believes is right in his
heart – that everybody deserves to love who ever they may choose. Here are a few
responses to Chad’s appearance and what
a wonderful group of responses it is. I think this is the pure energy of love
that
Chad fights for when he
decides to go on national TV and stand up and speak for the millions of people
who shares his views in this world. Enjoy the read.

Ps: Thanks to
all the people who have taken the time to write to
Chad and express their
views. We will make sure
Chad gets to read every
one.
