beyond today: why I support equality

10/28/2015

 
equality regardless of sexual orientation encompasses much more than marriage;
it is an essential human right.

sexual orientation should not be a limiting factor for:
how welcome or safe students feel at school,
individuals desiring to adopt or have children,
couples who choose to marry,
individuals aiding a significant other who is ill.


people have a wide-open life -
birth, childhood, awkward adolescence, twenties, thirties, and beyond -
we are more than marriage and kids -
all humans are -
and we must not forget that
when we speak of the rights of LGBT+ individuals,

and the movement for equality.

marriage equality, while a wonderful milestone,
​is not the beginning nor the end,
it is an open doorway with a large window helping everyone to imagine
​ways that all humanity can strive toward and achieve even greater equality,
in more spheres of society, through all phases of life.
