Special ties to the LGBT community

Often, I am asked why, as a straight ally, I care so fervently about GLBT equality. I do not see any reason why I need to explain myself. It is those who fight so fervently against equality who should have to explain themselves. We know that history will show that we are on the right side of the debate over equality. Ensuring that everyone has the same rights and responsibilities is pure common sense. The fact that I have been blessed with the opportunity to work in the movement is one that I am grateful for, and I truly am honored to be a part of such a great cause.

I think that is the best statement. I've also always wondered why people always have to explain why they should be treated equally, when the question is why we shouldn't be treated equally.
