In response to the Jan. 23 column titled, “Election overly focused on gays,”:

Hi Ashley,

Thanks for your article today. As a gay alumnus that was very politically active in ASUA from 92-96, it is always nice to read an article from a student that calls the U.S. government on its ignorance.

Keep up the good work!
