Niall's Voice

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out - because I was not a socialists. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out - because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out - because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me- and there was no one left to speak for me.... Martin Niemoller

Telling my story

So once again my voice here seems to have been silent. I have been active.
We just had a great Statewide Conference where I sat on a panel discussing the issues of Marriage Equality, it was excellent. It was also very emotional, just being able to sit there and open up about My Heart story, it was in 3 sections, Head, Heart, Action. I spoke about the fact that Marriage Equality affects children who are GLBT and are now growing up here this fierce battle and saying to themselves, WOW, am I that bad, that I do not deserve equality, and when I grow up I can't marry the person I love. BUT, maybe they will be able to. That is why the fight must go on.
It just takes so much out of you that I do not feel like writing on the blog after all is done.
I will try harder
