Loving me doesn’t involve voting against my rights

Growing up, we tend to unquestioningly accept the things our parents tell us as true. I was no exception in my youth. Brought up by one parent with conservative values and another who trusted her kids to be free thinkers and therefore didn’t intervene politically, I skewed a bit to…
