Last Friday, I posted a diary about San Diego Catholic Bishop Brom denying a funeral in the church for my friend, John McCusker who died suddenly last week. John, who was gay with a partner, owned two gay bars in San Diego. Tonight, just 45 minutes before a community forum in San Diego's gay community center, John's mother emerged from the Catholic Bishop's office to read a letter of apology from the Bishop to the McCusker family, the gay community and announcing plans to hold a vigil in John's honor at the Catholic Church.
Thank you to all of you here on Kos who emailed, posted, faxed, called. It has been an unbelievable few days but it is such a bittersweet victory. One that John would be proud of.
