Eden Prairie mom Randi Reitan has a featured opinion piece at the Huffington Post this week urging Minnesotans to attend the National Equality March in Washington D.C. in October. Randi and her husband Phil have been featured in a number of documentaries as the couple fights for equality for their gay son and all LGBT people.

If you come in October, you will find the National Equality March an unforgettable experience. To stand with thousands of people all working for equality will fill your heart and give you courage like nothing else can. You will remember those days all your life, and you will never be alone again in the struggle for your child’s equality.

I encourage all parents to set aside their fears, buy a plane ticket, and join us on the Mall for the National Equality March. Do it for your child, do it for you, do it for our country.
