Protesting Prop 8, I made my sign and headed out to Albany’s City Hall today. I stood, listened, marched and chanted in support of those whose rights are being infringed upon. The Troy Record covered the story, labeling all protestors in attendance either gay or lesbian. This certainly did not account for the many straight people rallying in support of our gay friends.

It seems, according to The Record, this is not our fight – even if it means we support equality for all - regardless of whether or not we are directly affected. I swear, I’m not bitter because they posted the worst picture of me in existence. I just find it poor reporting to misrepresent a group with generalizations when heterosexual support adds an important component in this fight for rights denied to a select portion of the population. Gay or straight, segregation simply isn’t legal.
