Subject: Important GLBT  Ally research – participants needed

Dear GLBT Ally,

I am a graduate student at the University of Memphis,

and am asking for your support in reaching family

members of GLBT individuals for a glbt-affirmative

study on post-election reactions to same-sex marriage

amendments. This is the only study of its kind that is

assessing the impact of anti-glbt policies over time.

We are trying to reach as many states as possible in

the hopes of getting in touch with as many individuals

as possible. We are hoping that our results will

contribute to challenging current anti-glbt policies.

I would gratefully appreciate any help you could give

us with letting your community know of this project.

Thank you, 

-KT Hiestand
