This morning, I was invited to join a Facebook page called "Give David Equality" that pertains to the injustice that leaders like David, leader in SigEg and campus leader of "The Right Side of History" face because he is gay.
I read the following note on the Facebook page and immediately joined it and his site in support, offering Connect 4 as a group with whom he can possibly connect to help spread awareness on campus if he desires. In addition, I will be sharing the idea with Connect 4 of partnering with David to have a Straight Talk for Equality on campus and lending our faces and voices as straight talkers on the site.
Please join the Facebook Page for this at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Give-David-Equality/445362585528?v=wall and support David and million of others in the LGBT community by learning more about The Right Side of History.
David is a good friend of mine, a normal guy who likes to hang out. He's in SigEp a fraternity at WashU and knows how to have a good time. However because David is gay he is not treated like me under the law.
You may not know this, but David is not a full citizen of this country--nor are the millions of other gay Americans like him. David can be legally fired in 29 states for being gay, legally evicted from his house in over 30 states, barred access to the military and its government benefits, and restricted from getting access to the 1,100+ federal privileges that our government gives married couples. It's hard to believe that in our country, we all don't have the same legal rights and protections.
David wants to have a family someday unless we change these laws, David's family won't have the same rights as the family that raised me, or as many other American families. How is this possible? How much longer will David have to wait?
We can and must change these laws. This year, please help give David -- and millions of LGBT (Lesbian Gay Bi Trans) American--equal rights. Please show your support for David's 100% equality by joining this page and by inviting your friends. I'll keep you posted on how you can help David and other LGBT Americans gain full equality in the upcoming year.
Thanks for your support
