Samuel --

One of the most memorable moments of my presidency was one
year ago today, on a warm summer night, when we lit up the White
House in the colors of the rainbow flag. It was hours after the
Supreme Court had ruled that love is love, and all marriages would
be equal under the law.

It was a powerful symbol here at home, where our fellow Americans
could finally feel accepted and whole in a country that recognized
the love they share. It was also a beacon for LGBT people here and
around the world that we are still fighting for the fullness of equality.

When you divide the world into "us" and "them," and denigrate and
express hatred because of skin color or faith or sexual orientation,
you feed something very dangerous.

And so we have to keep on pushing. We have to keep pushing to
make sure our LGBT brothers and sisters are not attacked, or even
killed, for just being who they are. We have to keep pushing to make
sure jobs are not being denied and people aren't being fired because
of their sexual orientation. We have to keep pushing to make sure
every single member of our American family feels welcomed and
valued and loved.

So while we can celebrate incredible victories like we did on June
26th, 2015, we also have to remember that history doesn't just travel
forward. It can go backwards if we don't work hard. We can't be
complacent when it comes to securing the gains we've made. And
that means we have to vote, because we have the opportunity this
November to keep history moving in the right direction -- can you
chip in $3 or more to help us make sure that happens?

I'm so glad to have you traveling this road with us, Samuel -- we've got
more miles to go and it's going to take all of us standing together.
