Just watched your film, yes I know you want to create some distance from that younger version of you just wanted to drop a note to say “good for you!!”. You’re a wonderful, strong young woman full of humility. Nothing more attractive and characteristic of a person who is meant to make a difference in this world! I love your mix of conservative (Christian) values and liberal questioning of ‘is this the best for all’. I relate on all levels. Myself, I’m Canadian and here we are blessed with a liberal approach to life where religion doesn’t guide politics. I’m 32 and I learned sex ed waaaaay back in the 90′s in a town of 1300 in the arctic. I live in Toronto now but your movie about way down in texas just made me realize how blessed I was to live in such a free society.
Your movie touched me most because my baby brother is gay and had all the freedom to come out in our world because people like you came years before us here. He has told me that he owes so much to those both gay and straight who sacrificed their name, credit, prestige and even lives to give him this freedom. You are one of those people fighting for the cause in Texas.
Thanks again, hope this letter helps to sustain your conviction,

Christie

Shelby keep up the good works. There is a need for a leader of the ERA movement. Two ERA bills are now in Congress SJ Res 21 and HJ Res 69 and both are prevented from leaving committees as they have been since 1985 by the men in Congress. The men in Congress whether liberal or conservative and regardless of party do not want the ERA bills coming to the floor of Congress for full votes of either house. SJ Res 21 only has 14 cosponsors and is missing such liberals as Schumer and Leahy as well as women like Gillibrand and Snowe. HJ Res 69 has 185 cosponsors but former Speaker Pelosi is not a cosponsor. Something is wrong someplace. The rich and famous women show no support for the ERA while women are beaten and abused on a daily basis and make less pay for the same jobs as men. If women march on Washington and showed support for the ERA then the men in Congress would have no choice but to allow a vote on the ERA. But there is no march of women on Washington and no real movement for the ERA. The men who are preventing the ERA should be voted out of Congress in November 2012 and the women should seize power. Be the leader the ERA needs.
