Allies

When we speak out for equality we are biased since discrimination affects us personally but allies speak up they speak from the heart and one ally that spoke up for us was from the NAACP at a Idaho non-profit, Fund for Idaho, the Idaho Statesmen reported that,

"The issues that the NAACP fights for are around justice, around equality and anything that affects any group of people," Randolph said. "It doesn't matter where they're from. It doesn't matter what their orientation is. When you codify discrimination of any type into the law and don't allow people to have rights, it's a very slippery slope."

"We have to fight these things on a lot of different fronts," said Randolph, who himself grew up in Virginia. "During the civil rights movement, it was based on race. It was based on how much melanin you had in your skin. Now, it's based on sexual orientation and it shouldn't be.

He criticized Idaho lawmakers for failing to even hear from advocates for adding the words "sexual orientation" and "gender identity" to the human rights act.

"To me, that's un-American. I mean, what this country was founded on is the right for people to express their viewpoints, to argue and debate something," Randolph said. "When a legislature or a governor or any body of government doesn't allow an issue just to be debated in public, it shows to me that's cowardice. That's fear. That's against what our founding fathers built with this great nation."

When we speak our stories move people to become allies and when allies speak for us more people listen to them because they know that the discrimination doesn’t affect them personally so their voices carry more weight to sway voters.
