I hope it floods the Web. <br /><br />I'm going to link to it from my Facebook page and my blog.<br /><br />I'm a lesbian who's been out and fighting this fight for almost 35 years, the last 14 in Arizona. I was blessed with the fervent support of my mom, too, and saw her reach hundreds whom I'd never have been able to sway.<br /><br />Thank you for your passion.PICOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11279534910153052872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24087625.post-25377554172101370412009-06-05T21:30:48.558-07:002009-06-05T21:30:48.558-07:00Thank you so much, Seething Mom.

But, as much as it sometimes hurts, it's sometimes powerfully healing as well, because of people like you.<br /><br />Thank you, Mom!Doug in Metro DChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15546783120167975146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24087625.post-59188159201808343252009-06-05T04:27:59.781-07:002009-06-05T04:27:59.781-07:00Hi again.

Thank you for your blog, for your activism, and for your open mind and open heart. <br /><br />I forwarded this letter to my parents, hoping they would be inspired to write their own letter to President Obama. And I added a quote from your letter and a link to your blog on my FaceBook page.<br /><br />When I have more time, I plan to explore your blog at length (I found a link to it on Pam Spaulding's blog).Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16870817164435619414noreply@blogger.com
