dear Mr. President,
i hear you sometimes actually read these letters. :) hopefully, this will reach your desk safely and you have a bit of space to take it all in. please, to begin, take a long look at this photo.
the flag waving and all the people ... all the people. is not the majority of global dna held within the hands of America? what a blessing to find you as our leader now, i hope.
Mr. President, please, can you tell me why you do not give lesbian and gay families in the military the same greetings ... in the light of day ... that you do here? i can not understand why you continue to ask me to feel like a small i instead of a fully embodied I in society. yes, the dominate culture, is important.
is it the masses that do not accept my loved ones into their world?
can you blame it on us?
it is your pen that holds the key, my friend, Mr. President.
i worked on the streets for you ... please listen to us.
thank you,
~ erin
