Dear ______,
"It is not easy to live as a gay person in the world. It means living in a world of prejudice and misunderstanding, of religiously sanctioned bigotry, of fighting for rights and fearing for safety in small-minded places, of getting mistreated and laughed at and marginalized in ways you really can’t imagine. It is a world of families tearing themselves apart and homes being broken, and it’s all over love.
There is a time that one must choose between what is right and what is easy, and it is always easy to plant oneself behind the views of one’s religion in an attempt to justify one’s behavior. Just because a religion tells you something does not make it right.
Being gay is the furthest thing from easy. But it is right for gay people to be here in the world, and for us all to live our lives happy and fulfilled. Someday the Church and its followers will realize that. Until then I will continue to work against those who would smother my love, and the love of hundreds of millions more people, with their own beliefs"
Best,
