In repsonse to Bent Alaska asking us to email the new Mayor dude, Sullivan, I wrote this:
Im going to make this short. You have an opportunity to show this city and this state and this country that Anchorage cares about all of its citizens and their right to be treated equally under the law. The law does not currently protect rental situations and employment situations where I were honest to my landlord or supervisor found out I identify myself as queer, I could be kicked out of my apartment and fired from my job. This is a very real threat to me.
Some might say to not put myself in a situation where that is a possibility. I say you have the ability to make those potential situations an impossibility.
This crossroads is offering you a chance to make a right decision. Protect your grandchildren and your friends and family. Please treat the LGBT community equal to everyone else in this state.
Thank you for your time.
