Senator Letter #29

Dear Senator:

Hi, my name is Camila Moreno and I live in Phoenix, AZ. I currently go to a school called Frank Borman Middle School and I'm really excited because I got the opportunity of writing to you. I'm pretty laid back on most issues but there are two main ones that I really care about and those are immigration and discrimination against homosexual
people. Since you have probably gotten millions of letters about immigration I've decided to try and convince you about making changes on how things work for homosexuals.

People with different opinions exist all over the world and most of them are not judged. Gay people on the other hand have a different opinion and are judged for it, they cannot get married, they get beat up and hurt physically and mentally all the time. Now according to the laws of this country everyone is "free" but that isn't true at all.

I'm telling you this because I would like for you to convince people and convince yourself to make a law that lets gay people get married. It should be part of a “Gay Bill of Rights” allowing them to have the same rights as others. Maybe it doesn't mean anything to you but it would to me because I have an aunt that is gay, my mom's best friend is gay and even one of my friends is gay. I practically grew up with two gay people by my side and it has not changed my opinion about liking boys so it doesn't
really harm anyone.

Also think about you knowing someone that is gay, maybe it is a senator close to you, your neighbor or just anyone you appreciate don't you think they should be able to come out of the closet? Not letting gay people get married just kind of makes the USA look like a weak country because you won't accept the way your people is. Hopefully you agree with all the points that I made and hopefully I didn't offend you in any way. In conclusion I just ask for one favor from you, and you have done it, you read my letter. Thank you.

Sincerely:


Camila Moreno
