My Letter to Obama: Why Sir Are You a Bigot?

I just skimmed our new president's revised positions for sexual minority clients. And after reading it, I have made a decision to write our president and ask him how he, a man of letters and a scholar of the law, can knowingly support the denial of marriage to same sex couples.

I know the negative consequences prejudice has on people, and I can't sit by without challenging his clearly prejudicial position with regard to Americans who are not heterosexual.

Here is my letter:

Dear President Obama,

First, congratulations on becoming the new president of the United States. I saw a photograph of you at your desk your first day at work, and even though you were making major decisions on a variety of issues, your desktop was totally clear. I hope that reflects the mind behind it, as we need someone with a clear vision in the office.

Which leads me to the reason I am writing this letter. I want to better understand your position on same-sex marriage. I have seen stories reporting your prejudicial view on same-sex marriage before, and your website confirms that such is the case;

President Obama supports full civil unions that give same-sex couples legal rights and privileges equal to those of married couples.

Why do those of us who were born sexually different deserve separate but equal treatment under the law? How can you, a man who has dealt with prejudice his entire life, support anything less that full rights for all adults who are citizens of the United States? Mr. Obama, why sir are you a bigot when it comes to sexuality?

I respectfully wait your reply and wish you the best in the days to come.

David Ezell

Happy Wednesday one and all.
