“You’ve been identified as an extremist,” a friend posted to me on social media.
The friend directed me to the Coalition for Marriage website, where I saw the article ‘Tonight a test for the extremists of the YES campaign’, with a picture of me waving a rainbow flag.
I saw words like ‘extremist’, ‘violent’ and ‘bully’ attributed to me in the article, and I felt my stomach drop.

Anybody who knows me would look at that photo and recognise me. What if my employer sees it, and is led to believe that I am an extremist? Or that I'm violent?
