Oppression still hangs over the heads of many in this country. Homosexuals, Hispanics, Asians, African Americans, women, and transgender people all feel the sting of prejudice on a daily basis. Therefore, the minorities of this land have an obligation to band together and support one another to force the change. It is up to all of us to stand up and say that we are not going to take it anymore. We refuse to live in a country based in ignorance that uses the Bible as a weapon of hatred instead of a tool of understanding and love. We are going to find a way to accept everyone, not just the ones that we can fit neatly into a box. We need to learn to embrace our difference instead of using them for a reason to hate. Then, when those things finally occur, we will truly be a developed country.
