Why do I tell people that I am gay? I want gays, lesbians and bisexuals who feel ashamed and alone in their suffocating closets to see they can risk living open and real in this crazy, cruel, beautiful world.

Editor’s note: This letter is in response to the article “8-3 vote keeps Chick-fil-A in the SUB,” published in the Daily Lobo Feb. 28. The article was about the SUB Board vote to keep Chick-fil-A in the SUB after an ASUNM Senate vote to recommend that they remove it, despite survey results that showed 85 percent of those surveyed were in favor of keeping the restaurant. The SUB Board performed a similar survey that reported 44 percent of respondents said Chick-fil-A’s principles are positive overall, while 41 percent said they are negative overall.

If you want to know the history of America, there are a few places you can look. Sure, you can read “history” as compiled by learned men or read biographies compiled by historians, but this is America. We don’t want to celebrate the plain, old facts; we want to hear the larger-than-life tales of our larger-than-life nation as seen through the eyes of our larger-than-life forebears. And when I think of men who fit that description, I think of the men featured in the tall tales of American history.
Should Congress pass laws that are effective? On Thursday, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) introduced a bill to ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. The ban would stop the manufacturing of these weapons and their sale to law-abiding citizens. The ban will do nothing to stop criminals from obtaining assault rifles and high-capacity magazines, because it is already illegal for criminals to purchase and possess them. The laws on the books haven’t stopped criminals from possessing and using firearms, so what makes anyone think that a new law that says the same thing will make any difference? The proposed ban will also not stop school massacres like the ones at Sandy Hook Elementary School, Virginia Tech or Columbine. It will only serve to reduce the defensive capabilities of law-abiding citizens.
