June is Pride Month, stand up for LGBT rights!

Dear Senator Obama,

Kudos to you Mr. Obama! We would like to take a moment to thank you for your positive statement in support of LGBT rights, and for acknowledging the importance of Pride Month. We think that it is an important first step that you have taken a stand, and called for the repeal of the U.S. Military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy. In addition, we thank you for your comments in support of Civil Unions and the fact that all couples should be granted full rights, have the freedom to live their lives, and love who they wish. Further, we agree that any form of hate crimes are inexcusable; they must not be tolerated, and those responsible must be held accountable and punished.

The promise and the hope of a better, more tolerant world, rests in the hands of all of us, but only a select few are in a position of power to make sure that policies are in place that end discrimination and oppression in any and all forms.

In our journey toward change, we must all come together to heal the divides, and break down the walls that keep us apart and unequal. Love is universal and it should be a right for each and every person in our great nation. Thank you again Senator Obama!

Sincerely, Your Supporters and Friends at "Do the Right Thing, Barack"
