We're not asking you
to change the country.
That's already happened
without any court's permission.
We're asking you to protect
the right of the country to change.
Our sons and daughters
are barred by law
from opportunities
based on assumptions
about their abilities.
How will they ever
disprove these assumptions
if laws like Section 214
are allowed to stand?
We all must take
these laws on, one by one,
for as long as it takes,
for their sakes.
