very nice, but why do I feel that she lost the homophobes after 2 sentences?

I've come to the conclusion that these people won't listen, no matter if you get angry and preach to them (which is what I felt she did), try to reason with the.....whatever.......they only way to change this is by your vote.

Believe me, I am not knocking her letter.....I wish my mother would have written it.......but I can see all the little homophobes using this as fodder to justify what the believe.....I can just hear them now..."See, angry mother......had she not been angry all her life, perhaps her son would have been "normal"........

Every voice helps. It's not who DOESN'T listen; it's who MAY listen--and hear.
