BUTLER — Lindsay Roberts values diversity—a topic she knows quite a lot about. A veteran who left the military when her now-wife became ill, she’s the mother of two sons with disabilities, partner to a cancer survivor with disabilities and more. Wise beyond her 36 years, Roberts selected a photo of the first Columbus, Ohio, Pride Parade she joined with her family. To her, it remains a symbol of the values and people she holds dear and illuminates the thinking behind her votes.
In this collaboration with A Picture’s Worth, Richland Source reporter Katie Ellington talked with Roberts about the photo she selected, how it represented her values and how those values influence her approach to voting and civic duty.
This audio story is part of “Ohio Values,” a collaborative project between Source Media Properties, A Picture’s Worth and other news outlets across the state.
This series is intentionally not political, although you will hear some stories that involve political topics and issues. Instead, we made an intentional choice to focus on our people, sharing photographs and stories about what they value the most, whether they’re heading into a voting booth or weathering a pandemic.
