Hi Son/Daughter,
It's November 15, 2016, a week after Republican Donald J Trump was elected to be the 46th President of The United States Of America.
Right now I'm scared. Hate Crimes are already up. My rights are currently protected by a technicality. I'm afraid for your other dad, I haven't met yet.
I'm scared for your future. I'm scared I'll be living in the middle of WWIII, the nuclear one.
I live in a world where the Electoral College, not Popular Vote determines who becomes president. She won by the people, He won by the system.
He has been flip-flopping on everything. From building the wall (which he finally backed away from), to basic human rights.
Gay men have been attacked for no reason. Muslim women have had their hijabs torn off of them. Racist, homophobic, xenophobic people want everyone other than straight white people deported, even though most of us are U.S. citizens.
His VP supports reprogramming for LGBT people, where you "shock the gay out of them." They use shock th erapy to "cure" a persons homosexuality, bisexualty, or gender dysphoria. He wants to take money away from HIV/AIDS treatment to find this practice.
"The American Psychiatric Association opposes psychiatric treatment" based upon the assumption that homosexuality per se is a mental disorder or based upon the a priori assumption that a patient should change his/her sexual homosexual o rientation and describes attempts to change sexual orientation by practitioners as unethical."
I know I have to deal with them for the next 4 years. But is it bad to say, I want him to resign?
Signed,
Your Dad
