021Letter to Editor on Kerryn Phelps - Gay Female

posted by [TALLéNT] on August 9th, 2007

Mr/Mrs Editor,

I wish for you to pass this on to Kerryn Phelps, whom you recently featured in an article in your newspaper:

Look, let me just say, YOU GO GIRL! I’m sick of all this garbage about same sex marriages being illegal and unholy. It’s about time someone distinguished showed how important union to the one you love is, regardless of their gender.

I myself am a gay female, and I am very much in love with my partner Phillace. We have been united, but we can’t be officially married because of the ridiculous rules handed down forbidding it. When I pass away, I want Phillace to be able to keep our house and all our contents, but even if I put it in my will it may not result in the way I wish because it can be legally contested! It’s nonsensical. Furthermore, my father and I have been distanced for quite some time. This is because he does not agree with my choice of lifestyle. He promised to disown me if I went down the path I have been born into, but I stuck true to who I am and now we never see each other. I want to congratulate you on being strong despite family difficulties. I know it’s hard to let a loved one out of your life but if you don’t, and you pretend to be something you’re not, you’ll forever regret it. Just be strong, and your family will realise the mistake of their ways. Ultimately, they will accept you for who you are.

I wish you and your partner the best of luck for the future. And to your son, thankyou for being so supportive and loving towards the person who brought you into this world. I pray that more people in similar positions will follow your lead.

If this could be passed on to Mrs. Phelps, it would be much obliged, as I feel compelled to let her know what she means to me, my partner and I’m sure many others.

Regards,

Gae F. E. Male.
