Two days ago, I sat down with my mom and had a tough discussion about the upcoming #election. My family are staunch #conservatives and I am not. I let her know of one issue in particular: same-sex marriage.

I let her know how tough it’s been to be gay, married, and to know that every time there’s an election she and my father and siblings have all voted for people who actively want to take this away from me both at a #state and #federal level.

I’m emotionally fatigued but still at peace.
