On June 26, 2013 the United States Supreme Court struck down DOMA, the Defense of Marriage Act, calling it embarrassing and unconstitutional, and today we are writing you this letter because we want you to know where we stand on the issue of gay marriage.
It's simple. We stand for equality. We stand for what is right and what is good. We stand for hope and love. We want you to know this, because it matters. We do not agree with the masses who try to define marriage as between a man and a woman. We think love is love no matter who you are, and we believe in seeing beyond gender to define a person.
Our hope is that by the time you are old enough to understand this momentous time in history, this will not be an issue at all. Our hope is that marriage will be legal for everyone, regardless of sexual orientation. And our hope is that you will not be able to comprehend the hate it takes to ban love.
We think it's important for you to know this, because no matter who you become or who you choose to love, we will always love you for you.
Be who you are. Be proud, and be strong.
Love,
Your Mommy and Daddy
Very well spoken, Mark and Wendy. All we need is love.
