How many gay voters does it take to change a member of Congress? Probably not that many. But they need to ask the lawmaker to change. Letters, e-mails, phone calls, visits. They’re what transforms Congress.
That’s the unglamorous reminder coming from House members pushing for repeal of laws banning openly gay soldiers and federal recognition of gay married couples.
“I’d like to make it a rule: No yelling at the president until you show me a letter you have written” to your House member and two senators, says gay U.S. Rep. Barney Frank.
