Card (2016.034.0406)
Greeting card with a handwritten message inside that reads “I don’t know who you are, I don’t know who any of you are, But I love you each & everyone. I hate that this happened and I hate that people will use this to further their own political agendas. OMAR: I don’t know why you did what you did, but I think I can try to understand. Your position was not an enviable one to be in, but I fear youve [sic] only made the situation worse for those in your position [sic]…our position. I’m in Orlando b/c I spent the last 2 months preparing to use any words to argue both sides of a dispute that pits religion against sexuality. Maybe you couldn’t use our words, or maybe you didn’t have them. I could have lost friends, In a way I did. I hope all 48 of you are in a better place. It’s pretty rough down here. -Stephen Varnell (signed Stephen Varnell.)”
