  1. Dear Mr Buttigieg, congratulations on your run for the presidency. Now you are a spokesperson for the LGTB community. You can help your community address a very interesting issue: how to call yourselves! I can tell you as a concerned parent, an independent voice, an inventor and artist how the world would better welcome the LBTB community members into their lives. One way is to please stop to saying to people, ‘my husband, my marriage’ etc. Why do I ask this? Because as an inventor, the word marriage was invented long ago by someone who intended it to mean the union of a woman and a man; husband was equally meant to mean the male counterpart to a wife. Here are words I have invented that I offer you and the LGTB COMMUNITY to use: Let’s start with the children. You said that your Le-hom would make a great father. Co-pere for the ‘father’ figure and Co-mare, for example could be used for children in a same sex union. Why not have Co-pere for the kids to call the ‘father’ figure and Co-mare to represent the ‘mother’ figure. In your relationship your kids would call your Le-hom their Co-pere and you would be their Co-mere. Gayriage is the name for marriage between two men. Le hom for your husband, La fem if you choose him to be your ‘wife’. Same for the lesbian community. Lesbiage would be for a woman and woman union. Two women would be Lesbiated. Why do I send this commentary that will surely cause a reaction? Because everyone is forgetting about the children! Kids need to see things in black and white. They need to be able to distinguish between a man and woman as being married, a man and a man being gayriated and a woman and a woman being lesbiated. They would have their Co-pere or Co-mere to call their gayrents or lesrents (parents). I offer these terms as something to begin the search for appropriate terms that only the LGTB community would be comfortable with. But it’s something to start with and it’s time to think of the young people who will be growing up and starting their own relationships. It’s for the kids of America and the world! The world’s eyes are on you; you are on the world stage and you can be a voice for change in the LGTB community. Let's think of the children all over the world being able to have a name that fits who they are and an identity they can be proud of.
