The 1980s Queer activist group Act Up was the first to slap “Silence = Death” stickers all over Boston. While we’ve thankfully moved beyond those times, the basic premise remains true. LGBT issues become more acceptable when they are openly discussed so I applaud the #RingYourGranny campaign in Ireland.
On May 22nd, Ireland will vote on the Marriage Equality referendum, deciding whether or not same-sex couples can get legally married there. I’m posting this to voice my support and to ask anyone who might have relatives in Ireland to call them and ask them how they plan to vote. Sometimes all it takes is the courage to speak up.
