Prejudice and bigotry in every form
                   is vicious, mean, and evil!
Los prejuicios y la intolerancia en todas sus formas es vicioso, media, y el mal!

               Instead of choosing accommodation like Jeff has,
                                    you chose rejection.
               Instead of choosing cooperation like Jeff has,
                                    you chose exclusion.
               Instead of choosing to work with me like Jeff has,
                          you chose to sabotage my efforts.
              You have shown yourself to be a bigot,
                discriminating against a disadvantaged minority.
              You have shown yourself to be a bully
                      by how you did what you did.
              You have shown yourself to be a hypocrite
                      by stating that you are all-inclusive,
                                but not including me;
                      by stating that you welcome all,
                                but not welcome me;
                      by stating full equality for all,
                                but not for me.
You are reacting to a nightmare label that I was forced to inherit almost twenty years ago and not to the individual person you got to know.
I thought you were my friend but you stabbed me in the back and turned your back on my earnest efforts to show that I was really trying to be a better me.
