The Human Response in State Legislature

Recently I came across www.utahvalues.org which is a Utah group that asserts love, fairness, opportunity and family. This group asserts that it is not within our Utah value system to allow hate and discrimination against those in the LGBT spectrum. On the site there was a place to fill in your address and be given a form to write to your local representatives to ask them to vote for anti-discrimination bills.

Here's what I wrote:

As a young voting constituent I'm writing you today to ask you to next year vote in favor of non-discrimination bills in Utah regarding the LGBTQ community. I've grown up in utah being taught to hold to my integrity and to always love and cherish those around me. As a state I believe we are very kind and generous people, it is something I love about living in Utah, and I believe that there is currently an incongruency between the law and the hearts of most of our citizens.
 
As a state we are people of service, people of charity and people of kindness and yet, the law stands to uphold the bigoted attitudes of the few. I'm not writing to take a stand on "the big issue" right now (maybe that will come later) but right now I ask that we offer the protection of the law to those who are currently cast in the shadows.

Ireland Trip: Kilmainham Jail

This was so cool for me to see, after talking about the Easter Rising in my Irish class it was so fascinating to see exactly where and how these men were held! The tour was amazing, they told you so many cool things!

Haunting but sadly beautiful in it's own way
