Gay brothers and sisters,… You must come out. Come out… to your parents… I know that it is hard and will hurt

them but think about how they will hurt you in the voting booth! Come out to your relatives… come out to your

friends… if indeed they are your friends. Come out to your neighbors… to your fellow workers… to the people

who work where you eat and shop… Once and for all, break down the myths, destroy the lies and distortions. For your

sake. For their sake. For the sake of the youngsters who are becoming scared by the votes.
