In the next few months I will be recruiting on campus for volunteers for marriage equality. I intend to start an OSU chapter of Marriage Equality USA, with the end result being a group of fired up, energetic, capable young people who will help in the coming years as Ohio begins to accept the entirely reasonable and necessary concept of civil marriage equality for all. I recall being young and energetic, and looking for a cause to get involved with. In my case it was a very similar issue, civil rights. When I was the age of my fellow students, the civil rights struggle captivated me in such a way that I never quite got over the enthusiasm and dedication that flowed from involvement in it. It was a magnetic, compelling issue and a powerfully attractive cause.
Marriage Equality is, too. I'll be turning students on to the idea of educating their peers, writing letters, petitioning for change, and taking the message of civil marriage equality home to Medina, Mansfield, Canton and Cleveland, Parma and Perrysburg.
Stay tuned.
