Dear LREI Community,
Each day, as you walk through the halls of the school, you pass people whose ability to take care of themselves and their families and whose hopes and dreams are constrained simply because of who they are. These are not constraints that can be avoided by making different choices. These limitations are forced upon these human beings solely for having the audacity to be gay. These members of our community are loving, hard working, supportive people who may be unable to marry or adopt, visit hospitalized loved ones or make legal life decisions for ailing partners.
I write to invite you to join me in addressing this inequity. An evening dedicated to learning about and discussing one of the pressing human rights issues of our time—Marriage Equality-A Civil Rights Issue—is sponsored by LREI’s Lesbian/Gay/Straight Alliance. We will gather on Monday, April 27th at 6:00PM in the Performing Arts Center at 40 Charlton Street to hear from a number of people who are very involved in the fight to bring justice to this situation. I urge you to join this conversation, as an injustice visited upon any one of us is ultimately injustice for all.
Warmly,
Phil
