Representation

LGBT community protesting some remarks made in association with the announcement that their issues aren't on the schedule for the Legislative Calendar this year. Whether you are aligned with them or not, it seems like a real cop out from the law makers to just avoid a group of issues...especially when it's coincidentally an election year. Sometimes as a photojournalist you are right in the thick of things and still don't get the full story. From what common sense tells me, avoiding an issue that is obviously really important to large groups of people doesn't seem like representation. Anyone who knows more, specifically about this here in SL is welcome to comment, wouldn't mind being enlightened.
