Dear Mr. President, I'm a pretty patient guy, Mr. President. I must be, considering that while you were celebrating your 6th birthday I was putting my life on the line for my country, serving as a Military Policeman in Vietnam, even though I had to lie every minute of every waking hour to do so. I kept myself going with the faith that someday other patriotic gay and lesbian Americans would be able to proudly serve their nation without having to live a lie. I must be a patient man, Mr. President. When you were 8 years old I gave up a promising law enforcement career with the Washington State Patrol rather than continue to put up with the incredible pressure of attempting to pass as a heterosexual. I kept myself going with the faith that someday GLBT people would be protected in their jobs from the whims of heterosexual bigots. I must be a patient man, Mr. President. When you were 10 years old my good friend, John Singer and I were refused a license to marry. The courts of the ...

Dear President Obama, My wife and I and our three children, now adults, served as a military family for 23 years before I retired as a colonel in the Air Force. While my family did not have to experience frequent separations or my death or serious injury like so many service families do now, all military families make sacrifices. We moved twice with kids who were entering their senior year of high school. We appreciate that you and Michelle have made military families a top priority. Our three adult children are responsible citizens who all work in education, one at an early childhood special needs school in Columbus, OH, one at a high school in Prince Georges County, MD and one at the University of Maryland. We are so very proud of all of them. One of our children is gay, and that is the motivation for this letter. We have been encouraged by the difficult and courageous decisions you have made in many areas, domestic and international, and we are grateful for the promises you have mad...

President-elect Barack Obama made a lot of promises to the GLBTQIA community while on the campaign trail. We have to make sure he follows through. What better way to do it than to send him a friendly little reminder? The good folks over at www.civilrightsfront.com have come up with a wonderful idea. Postcards Get a postcard by either buying one or obtaining a free one at many retail establishments. Address it: President-elect Barack Obama Presidential Transition Office Kluczynski Federal Building 230 S. Dearborn St., 38th Floor Chicago, IL 60604 The first step of obtaining federally mandated marriage equality for our community is the repeal of D.O.M.A. (the Defense Of Marriage Act). So it would be best to put this message on your postcard: Dear President-elect Obama, Please ask Congress to repeal D.O.M.A.! All Americans should have the right to marry. Thank you in advance for advocating for the civil rights of your GLBTQIA citizens. Don't forget to sign your name because nothing i...
