Be sure to check the appropriate box.: Email Email Address:: Phone 1V�nber:: Please Share Your Comment, Question or Concern: I could not figure out where to send this email addressed to the HRC so you are the lucky one. Would really love to attend the 5/10 meeting but will be in Chicago so would like to express my feelings in this ez�naal. I believe it is about time to give all individuals the same rights when it comcs ta rnarriage. I am l OQ%+ in believing that this proposed ban only sets us back in history instead of moving us away from our primitive thinkings about equal rights for all. Who defines the "alI?" I would prefer not having att adtx�endmenl vote because I am afraid that religion/age will still influence the outcome of the vote. In ano#her 5/10 years, more elderly people {including myself possibly) will have moved on to greener pastures but the elderly were brought up in an era where naarriage is one rnan/one woman and nothing else. I would rather have two females/males living next ta me tlxan sax�ne of t�e current residents in my apartment building. I've worked with two men who worked at Milwaukee Public Schools in high profile positions back in 198Q-1985. They lived together, drove the same type of cars and always had us employees over for parties showing off their one bedroom home to all newcomers. They were the best adminisirators and for them nnarriage would have becn a marvelous ending to their "Iove" story. But..... We need to mature and have open minds - ihese individuals can greatly contributc to our community and certainly can do a better job of raising children thaxx some Roseville residents do. I hope you will pass this on to appropriate peoplc for consideration in their decision to be made on May 16. Hopefully some of the prejudice I see daily in Roseville can be eliminated.
