A Parent’s Perspective: Give Back Our Daughter’s Right to Marry

Fri, 06/04/2010 - 12:27

By Harold and Ellen Kameya

Twenty-two years ago, our then 20-year old daughter Valerie told us she was gay. As Sansei from Hawaii, raised in a socially conservative Japanese American culture, Valerie’s announcement devastated us. At that time, we were woefully ignorant on issues of sexual orientation, including that being gay is not a choice. As part of that ignorance, we were saddened that we would never see our daughter get married or have a family.

“We are the children of the migrant worker/ We are the offspring of the concentration camp/ Sons and daughters of the railroad builder/ Who will leave our stamp on America.  We are the children of our Chinese waiter/ Born and raised in the laundry room/ We are the offspring of the Japanese gardener/ Who will leave his stamp on America.  Sing a song for ourselves/ What have we got to lose/ Sing a song for ourselves/ We’ve got the right to chose.
