MARIO NGUYENis a member of the WKU National Championship Forenic team and is from Dallas, TX. This kid is a the first runner up of the "Equality Idol" contest and gave an amazing speech this Sunday in front of thousands of marchers in front of our Nation's Capitol during the National Equality March. He appeared right before Cynthia Nixon (Miranda from Sex In The City for those who don't know.) She introduced Matthew Shepard's mother/activist Judy Shepard.
I found a link to Mario's facebook page and wrote to him that I was so proud of him.
I graduated from WKU even before Mario was born. As a fellow "Hilltopper," I had to write to him and encourage him to continue his work. It is his generation that carries forth the work in national equality rights for the LGBT community.
Today when I watched President O'Bama's speech at the Human Rights Campaign dinner on Saturday night I was deeply moved that we have a Comander In Chief who will actually address the needs of the LGBT community. And one who is committed to repealing "Don't Ask, Don't Tell."
At this point in history, when we are engaged in two wars, we need every devoted American who is willing to serve their country to be allowed to do so! Period. We hope that the President signs an emergency stop gap measure to end Don't Ask, Don't Tell.
