this got them going...
I got an email tonight from a (straight) friend; actually, a copy of one he sent to a very wide distribution list on election day. ---
From: xxxxxxx, xxxx Sent: Tuesday, November 02, 2004 7:19 AM To: xxxx xxxxxx (x@x.com) Subject: I vote to support my friends
Mxxx,
One of the many reasons that I will vote for John Kerry today is to support my friends:
Anne Kathy Augie Scott Todd Mark Sharon April Angela Victor Jamie Karla Lori Sue Jenny David Bill Carlene Michele Lara Darlene Annie Molly Karen Pam Deloris Trista Erin Carol Janet
I am truly blessed to have these people in my life; my life is more complete because of them.
These are the names of my gay and lesbian friends.
Mr. Bush wants my friends to deny their nature, conform to his view of the world that they must be in relationships of one man and one woman in order to be accorded all the rights that you and I enjoy in our relationships with Angela and Irene.
He wants to create an amendment to the constitution that legalizes discrimination towards my friends, before the last election someone mentioned to me that it is important to vote for Al Gore since Mathew Sheppard could not, how true that has become.
Mr. Bush wants to marginalize my friends, I can not stand by silently, it is wrong and it further divides our great nation.
Thoughtfully,
Dxxx
