The ineffective June 2 protest by GetEqual on the floor of the state House was not intelligent nor was it strategic, and it certainly didn’t have a clearly articulated message. The outburst was a perfect example of a direct action gone terribly, terribly wrong and all LGBT North Carolinians will pay for it.

I have stood in line and watched as families with children, warring spouses and multi-generational families sail through passport control with little-to-no hassle.

That small, slightly insignificant act was a gestural reminder that my “family” is not comprehended, or treated like a family, American style.
