Visitation rights a big step for gay-rights movement
This is a response to “Obama to hospitals: open up on visits for gays” [page one, April 16].
I would simply like to say that I believe this is a big step forward for the gay-rights movement.
Though some people feel President Barack Obama is not doing enough or is not moving fast enough in the area of gay rights, I think that in some cases you have to take things one step at a time. Obama is doing all that he can under the circumstances to make sure that each step is as big as possible.
