NOH8


People struggle for civil rights, and have done so since the beginning of time. We all wish to be treated with the same rights as everyone else, and alas it is not always the case that freedom is bestowed upon us all. Equality is a rare flower that grows in an unreachable place, always out of reach for many… guarded by the few. Only when we are all equal in one another’s eyes, and hate is erased… will we find peace with one another. It does not matter what we look like, who we love, or what we believe, differences need to be celebrated!

I took this photo in support of the NOH8 Campaign and the lovely work they have been doing!

Excellent post, Grant.

I with you 100% on this. Someday we'll look back and wonder how so much hate and animosity could have been directed toward homosexuals...

I think, too, it is interesting that the Christian right uses the same kind of Biblical nonsense to justify their hate as did the white preachers in the south to justify slavery!

Jacob, you are very right. It is important however to remember that not all Christians are the ones that judge and hate, there are some very wonderful true-christians.... we need more of those!
