An Open Letter To America to Join 'To Russia with Love'
This is what I want. And I ask: what about you?
I want an international print campaign to support equal rights. I want newspapers, magazines, websites, billboards you name it to fill our world with support for equality so that any child, youth, grown-up or elderly person who is lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or queer, anywhere in the world, will know they are not alone.
I want to counteract the hate, silencing and fear with love. I want love to be the face of the equal rights movement for the LGBTQ community. I want to fill the world with love. Imagine what that could look like.
I want couples, individuals, friends, co-workers and families of all kinds to share the most universally recognized symbol of love. I want photographs of people of all nationalities showing their support for equality with a Kiss for Equality.
I want actors, singers, authors, poets, musicians, activists, politicians and leaders from all over the world to kiss someone they love and say, Lets Kiss Inequality Good-bye. Its time.
Its time for everyone to experience Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness, for everyone to know they are beautiful just the way they are.
Its time for same-sex couples, same-sex parents, children of same-sex parents, and all LGBTQ persons at home, at school, in the workplace or in retirement to be protected by the laws of their lands.
Its time to end harassment, bullying, prejudice, discrimination, suppression, correctional rapes, conversions, violence, and the use of the Bible as a tool for punishing the innocent.
Its time to spread love. Its time to change history.
Are you with me?
