Come here,
Mr. President
Let me show something.
Stand here,
Mr. President
And look over this crowd.
Well,
Mr. President
What do you see here?
"Citizens,"
You say.
"Good Americans who vote,"
You say.
"Well dressed, business
Type people"
You say.
Yes, that is who they are.
Now take a look
Over here,
Mr. President.
What do you see?
"A sea of rainbow,"
You say.
"Too much pride,"
You say.
"Gay activists,"
You say.
Alright,
Mr. President.
Stand here.
I am bringing up
Two people
From either crowd.
Look at this woman
What do you see?
"A hard working
Business woman
Who knows what she's doing."
You say.
Yes, she is.
Now look at this man.
What do you see?
"A gay man
Who flaunts everything
And a man who
begs for marriage
And is too proud
For his own good"
You say.
That is where you
Are wrong.
This man is a gay man,
Yes.
But he is also a hard working
Business man
Who knows what he's doing.
This is a hard-working
Bussiness woman,
Yes.
But she is also
A lesbian
Who flaunts it
When shes done with work
Who begs for marriage
And knows
That there is no such thing
As being too proud.
Look over this crowd
Again,
Mr. President.
Remember what you saw?
Each and every one
Of these people
Are gay activists.
Each and every one
Of these people
Are good American citizens
Who work in businesses
And vote.
See, Mr. President.
You can't judge someone
By the way they look
By how much pride they have
By where they work
Or their sexual orienttion.
Good bye,
Mr. President.
By the way,
Mr. President,
None of these people
Voted for you.

I came across this, and I remembered reading it before, and after the second time I read it I came to realize how powerful it was.
It's very true, and very well written.
