Dear Mr. Bilodeau:

As a student who is just entering high school I have a lot of plans for my future. Specifically I would like to go on and attend a great University such as Michigan State University. There are many things that I admire about Michigan State such as the environment, campus life, and of course the wonderful organizations. The organizations that interest me the most would have to be The Alliance of Lesbian, Gay, Bi-sexual, Transgender and Straight Ally students. I think very highly of what you are doing to help those students who have different views on their sexuality.

I believe that every school should have some kind of outlet for homosexual students who feel left out and mistreated because of their sexuality. You may not know how the population of homosexuals grows and affects my community every day. Many of the public schools that are located near me are populated by many homosexuals who make it very uncomfortable for others. Even though I am not a homosexual I see the struggles they go though during school and it becomes very distracting to others as well as distracting to fellow piers.

In addition, I also witnessed how these students become the outcast at school and how people commit ruthless hate crimes against them because of their sexuality. The way that they are treated not only becomes hard for them but for the people who are surrounding them such as me. I feel that there are many ways to better the situations that are amongst us concerning homosexuality. I sense that what you are doing in college referring to the Alliance of LGBTA can also be helpful to many high schools.

I believe that you should consider furthering the Alliance of LGBTA not only into more colleges but to high schools as well. This is very important to me because I believe that it can better the school system and allow kids to have an organization that they can call their own. I thank you for what you are doing to help those homosexual students who find comfort in the Alliance of LGBTA and I also want to thank you for taking time out to listen to my concerns.

Sincerely,
