My name is Amanda Garzon and I chose my social justice topic because of how me and my loved ones are personally connected to it and because of my passion for equal rights among straight and queer people. As a queer person who is likely to have children in my future, I have always considered adoption and fostering. However, if I were to be in a same-sex relationship and depending on the state I reside in, that may not be a plausible reality for me. Not only that, but a dear person in my life is a lesbian and I know for a fact they want children. Similiar to me, depending on the state they end up living in, they may be unable to adopt or even foster children simply because they are in a same-sex relationship. I want to foster change and help affected groups of my social justice topic because we all deserve to have a loving home, even if it is not a conventional one.
