Equal rights

To the editor:

Allowing gays and lesbians the choice to marry is the most profound civil rights issue of this century. Someday your grandchildren will be asking you what you did when the government was denying millions of this country’s citizens (yes, including me) equal rights. What will you honestly be able to say to them? That you sat and did nothing? That you let fear and prejudice get the better of you? Or that you stood up for what was right — that all people, gay and straight, deserve the same rights?

How do you want history to remember you?
