I grew up in a rural town, where I met people with different experiences and opinions than my own.
Living as a closeted queer Latina wasn’t always easy, and I had my fair share of rude comments and fear that I would be discriminated against for my gender identity. While I tended to be vocal and clap-back, it felt helpless. There was nothing I could do to make people realize that we are all truly, “created equal”. Until now-
Nevada’s Ballot Question 1 will change the Nevada Constitution to allow every person, regardless of race, color, creed, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, disability, ancestry or national origin to have equal rights and be protected against discrimination by this state of any of its political subdivisions. This is Nevada’s next step to making sure the U.S. Congress can ratify the 28th Amendment, to make it true that we are all created equal.
Many people have similar experiences as my own. This is why Nevada’s midterm is so important, and why I need you to vote. By voting “Yes” on Question 1, we can help those in the same helpless position I was in.
