Warning: political Journal/displeasures
17 years ago
So, come election night, despite the enormity of all else, I was still highly disappointed to learn that Prop 8 and other initiatives like it were passed all around the country.
Anyway, after looking through my secret pinko communist websites, I decided that I was going to take a moment to voice my displeasures to Andrew Pugno. Now, you may be asking "Who is Andrew Pugno?"
In short, Andrew Pugno is a major contributer to the movement that helped to pass Prop 8, and is working as an attorney to their campaign. In any event, I have sent him a letter, and considering my feelings on this issue, I'm surprised by the civility I afforded him. Below is a copy of the letter I sent.
Mr Pugno,
Speaking as an American Citizen and California resident who lost one of his rights on September 4th, 2008, I was shocked, horrified, and enraged to learn that my people would vote to knowingly remove my right to happiness and equal status in my community. Since then, I have learned that you are an attorney working for those who moved to deny me, and countless others, one of our basic rights to decency and equality. I am writing you now to voice my strong displeasure, in no uncertain terms. What you have stood for, and what you are fighting for, is not only reprehensible, it is pure evil! Many gay Americans have died as a result of hate crime stemming from discrimination, and because of your actions, past and present, you have helped to ensure that many more Americans will continue to die. You have helped to sow bigotry and homophobia in my fair state and country. You have worked to destroy one of the very fundamental pillars of democracy, which is the right of the minority communities to live as equal, respected citizens of society. You have worked to undermine not only our constitution, but the very values that our country was founded upon, that is, Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness for all! And if same-sex marriage can be revoked, then where does it end? If the people you worked for decided to remove interracial marriage, would you still help them? What about my right to adopt? For that matter, what about the right of an interracial couple to adopt?
Frankly, sir, I am disappointed in you. But at the same time, I have to thank you as well. It is because of you, that I for the first time, I realized that there were those who worked to sow bigotry and hatred in my community, and even within my family as well. It is because of your actions, that I have decided I will no longer sit complacently as you move to undermine democracy and equality in my country. It is because of you, that I have decided to show others your regressive ideology, and the harm it does to not only California, but to America as a whole. No longer will I stand by and watch as you dismantle my rights and my standing in my country. I swear that I will work to see that Proposition 8 is removed from the California State Constitution, and that I will fight tooth and nail to see that never again will you remove the rights of another human being.
Your's Truly,
Kyle Thomas Perez
