I have friends who think I'm foolish to write this letter. I hope they're wrong. I hope their doubts are
based on parents who loved and trusted them less than mine do. I hope especially that you'll see this
as an act of love on my part, a sign of my continuing need to share my life with you. I wouldn't have
written, I guess, if you hadn't told me about your involvement in the Save Our Children campaign.
That, more than anything, made it clear that my responsibility was to tell you the truth, that your
own child is homosexual, and that I never needed saving from anything except the cruel and
ignorant piety of people like Anita Bryant.
