Who touched your life?

An ex touched my life - she stood by me as I came out to my parents.

A former employer - a former judge and former state legislator, he came out while still on the bench causing a HUGE scandal here. He taught me a lot and encouraged me in my personal and professional lives. I was honoured to work for this man and to this day he remains my favourite employer. He is my mentor and is responsible for me becoming so involved in the LGBT community. I was working for him when the Lawrence v. Texas decision was handed down. That was such an exciting time. He included me in the fight he began here in NC to try to overturn the anti-sodomy laws and during that time taught me to write legislative proposals. Before he could see this through he moved to Washington, DC; sadly no one in NC (as in attorneys) picked up where he left off and the laws remain.
