Some people just love trying to push others into little places, that fit within their own ideological views, the thought of individuals having the capacity to transcend their perceived world view is unacceptable. I read through the comments Jessika, and think you did an amazing job. This individual, you spoke against seems to have difficulty living in a world where the boundaries are not so easily defined, in such a place, they have no control and as such they tend to push for conformity. At least, that is my thought on the matter, as well as experience with others who exhibit signs of bigotry toward others.
In a way, I feel bad for them, but mostly I just feel anger toward them for all of the hurt they cause. I do not understand why someone would go to such lengths, when others are hurt, for things that ultimately do not matter. I mean, obviously to them it does, but you would think they could go beyond such harmful thoughts and take into consideration the feelings of others.
Regardless, I am glad people like you exist, who push to set things right and display things in a different light. I try to do so as well, usually I win over other people with a rational approach. Not the individuals railing against others, just those that remain undecided. You are doing a lot of good, by standing up for others, and for that I thank you.
