10-Day Green Smoothie Cleanse Gay Family Values 2018-10-26 | The holidays are almost here and there is nothing better than Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner. But we all know the amount of weight one can gain during the holidays. Daniel and I decided to try the 10-day cleanse to drop a few pounds and give our bodies a clean kick. Drink 64 ounces of green smoothies. Drinking just 1 glass of green smoothies each day will give you amazing benefits, but if you can drink 64 ounces a day of green smoothie as your main meal, it will help you to lose weight and improve your green smoothie weight loss.

Jay Turns 48 Say it Isnt True Gay Family Values 2018-09-03 | Happy Birthday to my handsome husband, Jay. I am so glad to spend your “birthday weekend” together as we were when we were young. Our everyday lives are so full that we don’t often get the time to just be us and appreciate all that I find special about you every day (yes, even the crazy ones). I am so grateful to have gone with you on another trip around the sun...and am looking forward to many more. I hope this day...and the whole weekend...has made you know how special you are to me, to all of us as your family, and how much we love you.Love, Your husband Bryan.
OMG Daniel Turns 18 Gay Family Values 2018-08-15 | I know that we have posted this photo before....But tommorow is Daniel's 18th birthday. The little boy who walked into our lives almost thirteen years ago is becoming an adult. All of today he has been walking around saying things like..."This is my last day of work as a minor"...or...""This is my last time taking out the garbage as a minor". I can sense in him, the excitement(and small amount of sadness) at the close of one part of his life and the beginning of a new chapter. Having crossed that bridge ourselves, it's easy to remember how it felt. But we are also so excited to be celebrating this day with him because that little boy who stole our hearts all those years ago has grown into a young man...but he still has our hearts...and we are very proud of him.To our son we would say...First, Happy Birthday! Enjoy this day, you have earned it. And second....you might be moving into a new chapter of your life as an adult, but it's only the beginning of a lifetime of new adventures....Just like the one we embarked on the first day we got to call you son.

Why Im Running for Sheriff Gay Family Values 2017-09-15 | Dear Sonoma County Resident,My name is Jay Foxworthy and I have decided to run for the position of Sonoma County Sheriff. I want to introduce myself to you because I believe it’s important for every resident to have a better sense of the person behind the badge, especially when that person may be our next Sheriff.I’m a local boy, raised in Windsor, sometimes by my mother, but mostly by my grandparents. I graduated from Montgomery High School and then left Sonoma County to join the Army. I always knew that once my time in the service was completed I would return to Sonoma County, my home. After graduating from the Academy in 1996, I applied to the Sonoma County Sheriff’s Department, but I couldn’t get hired here as an openly gay man. Instead, I found work as a Deputy Sheriff in San Francisco, where I’ve spent the last 22 years and had the opportunity to grow and learn from progressive policing policies there while I lived in Sonoma County.To understand why I feel so strongly about progressive community policing policies, it helps to know a few things about my background. My mother was a mentally ill, self-medicating addict. Much of my childhood was spent in poverty, living with an unstable mother who was often in trouble with the law. During times of her incarceration, I was raised by my grandparents and sometimes by an aunt, who were all very positive role models. At the age of nine my mother had a nervous breakdown and I was comforted by an officer who arrived at the scene. That one moment forever changed the way I perceived Law Enforcement and the positive impact it can have on people. That moment of compassion, combined with spending several years in foster care, continue to shape my outlook and sense of community to the present day. Today, I live in Santa Rosa with my amazing husband, Bryan, and two incredible adopted children. We’ve also had the honor of fostering fifteen amazing kids over the last ten years.You may wonder why I want to run for Sheriff after serving more than 20 years in the San Francisco Sheriff’s Department. I have always been a natural leader when it comes to work and my community. For the last several years I have focused much of my energies in community activism... specifically, fighting for LGBTQI rights and marriage equality. The passage of Prop 8 here in California awoke in me a personal sense of obligation to make changes where and when I can. Since then, I have had the opportunity to mentor hundreds of young LGBTQI from all over the world. As a result of these experiences, I understand the challenges many communities in Sonoma County struggle with when it comes to Law Enforcement and I have a very clear understanding of how to open honest dialogue to address these issues. I feel that in order for you to make a real, informed choice you need to know where I stand on the important issues challenging Law Enforcement today. Attached to this letter you will find my top five priorities I would address as Sheriff.Sincerely,Jay FoxworthyPlease make a donation to help make this work possible: secure.anedot.com/foxworthy_donate/donate
Help Me Make Change Foxworthy For Sheriff Gay Family Values 2017-09-08 | secure.anedot.com/foxworthy_donate/donateFor years now you have been watching my family grow up here on You Tube. We understood that it takes all of us to defeat unjust laws like Prop 8. I have now embarked on another task to help bring change to my local Sheriff Department. As you know many communities are struggling with departments who refuse to change their conservative culture. A lack of accountability and use of force issues have forced many of us to not trust our police. You can help me make real change here in Sonoma County by donating to my campaign for Sheriff.

Help Glenn And His Dogs Avoid Being Homeless Gay Family Values 2017-07-21 | There are way too many people living on the streets in America today. Sometimes the number of people struggling for housing in parts of the country can feel overwhelming. Approximately 1% of the U.S. population (3.5 million people) experiences homelessness over the course of a year. In the Bay area, there are approximately 35,000 homeless people; in San Francisco, estimates put the number between 7,000-15,000, which is the highest per capita rate of homelessness in any major American city.When we are faced with problems that we see on a day to day basis sometimes we check out because there is no real way to help so many people. I want to introduce you to my friend Glenn and his five dogs. I know for many people money is tight but for someone like Glenn, it's about losing his home and his family. If at all possible chip in a few dollars and let's find Glenn a new home. gofundme.com/help-glenn-find-new-shelter

I left the movie angry for all the right reasons. Ill need to see it at least a half dozen more times to make sure that I did not miss some important piece of the puzzle that my mind has yet to comprehend. Jay PS BB-8 Is now one of my all time favorite Star Wars personalities.

YouTube Dilemma Gay Family Values 2015-08-27 | Over the years we have tried to give a real look into the lives of our family.

This happened recently when a Trans YouTuber lashed out on our family for talking about Trans issues. My reaction was to respond to the attack...Bryan's was to withdraw. We really do need some insight from our audience on the direction of our channel.
LOVE WINS Equality For All Americans Gay Family Values 2015-06-26 | Thank you to the Five Supreme Court justices that understand that love is stronger then hate.Justice Kennedy in his decision: “No union is more profound than marriage, for it embodies the highest ideals of love, fidelity, devotion, sacrifice, and family. In forming a marital union, two people become something greater than once they were.”“It would misunderstand these men and women to say they disrespect the idea of marriage, their plea is that they do respect it, respect it so deeply that they seek to find its fulfillment for themselves. Their hope is not to be condemned to live in loneliness, excluded from one of civilization’s oldest institutions. They ask for equal dignity in the eyes of the law. The Constitution grants them that right.
Weekly Rewind Identity is it truly yours? Gay Family Values 2015-06-14 | Man this video was a pain in the butt to make this week.
