Many times a year, we hear about deaths. Deaths of young black men, LGBT individuals who fall from murder or suicide, people all over the world being killed for who they are, or their beliefs. Does this not make anyone else sick?
Just by simply taking a look at the news, we see these horrible tragedies every single day. With an even closer look, you can see just the magnitude in which these incidents occur. Many people close themselves off, and ignore the fact that we live in a society structured around tearing one another down. It can be so filled with hate. And this is the issue, instead of recognizing the issue, we ignore it. Instead of taking a stand and preventing deaths, we continue to spread hate.
We all hear about Michael Brown and Leelah Alcorn, yet the "n-word" and "faggot" are still echoed through the schools.
Take a stand.
A law in Indiana was just overruled. This law allowed companies to deny service to anyone of the LGBT community. Just like in the time of the Jim Crown laws. We honestly came that close to taking a step back to the 60's. Yeah it was overruled, but the fact that it was even proposed in the first place is astounding.
This is a major flaw in our world. Where people are killed, bullied, assaulted, and pushed to suicide. Where the hate is so strongly engrained in peoples mentalities, that they see no issue with their actions. We're all humans, and I'm tired of people being treated any other way.
