Memo to Bush: Leave Us the Hell Alone

Yesterday, Mary K signed our online, Marriage Equality Petition. She wrote the following comment (with a few minor edits by Rainbow Law) to her Elected Representatives and President Bush:

“We don't stop paying taxes because of our sexual preference; we don't stop voting; or working or spending money, we NEVER stop supporting our country and our troops.

Whether we are heterosexual or homosexual, we are first and foremost AMERICANS and we have a Constitutional RIGHT to LIFE, LIBERTY AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS!!”

Implied by those rights is the right to marry (as in Loving v. Virginia).

Don’t you GET it? WE have the RIGHT TO CHOOSE whether or not to marry, and if we DO choose marriage, we have the FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT to marry another consenting adult.

It is pretty easy to understand really –

YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO DENY US OUR RIGHT!

So, get out of our way and leave us alone.
