Still Undecided? Read Obama’s Letter To Girl With 2 Gay Dads (SNAIL MAIL)

[Segami]

Chances are that if you’re reading this on Addicting Info, you’ve already decided who you’re voting for in this election. But if you know of anyone who cares about marriage equality and is still sitting on the fence, please forward this article to them about a young girl’s heart-felt letter to the President about her two gay dads — and President Barack Obama’s warm response — as opposed to Not-So-Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney, who doesn’t even think gays should have the legal right to visit a sick partner in the hospital.


10-year-old Sophia Bailey Klugh’s letter to the president — which thanks him for his support of gay marriage and invites him and his family over for dinner — went viral when her proud fathers, Jonathan Bailey and Triton Klugh, posted their daughter’s letter on facebook.

“I just wanted to tell you that I am so glad you agree that two men can love each other because I have two dads and they love each other,” Bailey Klugh earnestly writes, adding, “But at school kids think that it’s gross and weird but it really hurts my heart and feelings. So I come to you because you are my hero.” She then asks the president a tear-jerker of a question: “If you were me and you had two dads that loved each other, and kids at school teased you about it, what would you do?”

Today, Stacy Lambe from BuzzFeed followed up with the president’s response, which reads in part:

“Thank you for writing me such a thoughtful letter about your family. Reading it made me proud to be your president and even more hopeful about the future of our nation … A good rule is to treat others the way you hope they will treat you. Remind your friends at school about this rule if they say something that hurts your feelings.”

Tomorrow, I will definitely choose the man who takes time from his busy campaign to reply to a young girl’s letter — because even his smallest constituents are important to him — than someone who summarily dismisses 47% of Americans.
