What Happens When You're on the Registry?
Emily Chang: Can you give a depiction of how being on the registry continues to be experienced by the individual who's on the registry as a punitive experience? "The punishments grow and grow because they never roll back the laws so they add additional laws all the time," she says. One person I spoke to couldn't go to his father's funeral because it was at a church where they said nobody on the registry could go. He couldn't pick up his special needs child at school or attend events at the school while his wife was working. It also undermines all philosophical religious spiritual and ethical principles about forgiveness and redemption.
