You are important, and your story is important. Ohioans and elected officials need to hear from you - they need to know why you believe in equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people. So tell them... 

• Why are you an ally to lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people?
• Can you think of a specific incident or moment that moved you, to become a straight ally? Or an incident that reaffirmed your stance that equal rights are for all?
• What would you tell a legislator if you could sit and talk with them about gay rights?

Tell your story below: write from your heart. Write as little or as much as you want (well, at least up to 4000 characters). You can either type freely in the textbox below, or write your story in a program like Word and then copy/paste it into the textbox. Thank you so much for sharing your story with us.
