Public Enemy #1?

The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force USA - Press Center | 26.09.2006 18:01 | Gender | Social Struggles | World

At this time of war abroad and unmet needs at home, I thought you might like to know that the gravest threat facing the security and prosperity of the United States has been identified:

You.

What, you may ask, have you done to deserve being classified as Public Enemy #1?

Well, are you in a same-sex relationship?

Are you a lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT) person who cherishes and nurtures your children — or has dreams of one day becoming a parent?

Or are you just someone who believes that what consenting adults do in the privacy of their homes is nobody’s business but their own?

If you answered “yes” to any one of these questions, then you are being targeted by the radical right as a threat to our nation. You are being hung out to dry by cowardly elected officials who prefer to earn votes by pandering to fear and ignorance.

So what are you going to do? Roll over and play dead? Wave a white flag and surrender your right to enjoy full citizenship just because right–wing extremists are targeting you?

HELL NO!

If that’s your answer, then I encourage you to join a proud group of thousands of LGBT Americans and their allies dedicated to stopping the attacks of the forces of political and religious intolerance and promoting real American values such as fairness and equality.

I invite you to join the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force.

The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force has been advancing LGBT rights since 1973. When you join the Task Force today with a contribution of $40, $75, $100 or whatever you can afford, you become part of a determined army of activists and supporters who are still standing tall, fighting back and moving forward.

How do we do it?

We seed the grassroots: We organize activists. We train local leaders. We mobilize voters. We build coalitions.

But we cannot do this work without the support of concerned people like you.

Help us keep fighting these battles in Washington, D.C., and in every state in which LGBT citizens are threatened by discrimination and bigotry. Join today and help us achieve our dream of equality and justice for all Americans.

Join the Task Force today.

Together, winning is MORE than possible...
