We Ask President Obama to remember

As we look forward to the inauguration of our new President, Our first African American President. We ask as our new President takes the oath of office that he remember. Remember those of us who are still second-class citizens because we are not allowed to marry

We ask him to remember the thousands of reasons why marriage is so important to us.
We ask him to remember when he last felt discriminated against, and to let that feeling sink in so that he remembers it when he is making decisions that affect our community


We ask him to remember, remember those of us who do not have job protection and can be fired because of our differences.

We ask him to remember, remember those of us who cannot adopt our partners child or cannot adopt a child with our partner. We too have love and guidance to provide a child we to can be excellent parents with a lot to offer too many children that end up receiving often too little.

We ask him to Remember that we too are Americans, We are citizens of the United States of American. We are born American, Immigrated Americans, We are Americans.
We do not deserve to be treated as second-class citizens of our own country.

Let him remember, remember that we are people, We are Doctors, Lawyers, Artist, Waiters, Social Workers, Services personnel, Labors, Business owners, Parents, Couples, Children, that we died for the rights we aren’t getting in our country’s military, that we teach in American schools, yet we are still Second Class Citizens!

We ask that he remember that we are all different. We are all individuals and the fact that we are is what makes us the same. We are all human and deserve to be treated equally.

We will not sit at the children’s table, we will not sit at the back of the bus. We will not be your Rosa Parks, we must be treated equally.


We ask him to listen to the voice that calls for equality for all, The voice that call for an end to discrimination, The voice that says no to second class citizenry.

We wish for him wisdom, safety and, Godspeed and as he takes the oath of office we ask him to remember.

Remember we are the LGBT Citizens of The United States of American and we are still being discriminated against
