We The People: WTF?
Yesterday, our country proudly took a long step towards maturity, in electing our first African-American President.
However, at the same time, our country took a step backwards by denying the civil rights of another group of individuals who are no less deserving of equality…
In our quest to become a country who values ALL humankind, two steps have now been taken here; We have officially ended up exactly where we began. One step has directly threatened to cancel out the next step necessary in order to achieve justice.
And why?
Because we live in a country predominantly governed by a set of rules proclaiming that one group of individuals are only allowed their freedoms to marry if that union exist between a woman and man…
Now, what sort of mixed message does this send to those looking towards us as true leaders in progress? By denying civil liberties, equal protections, and allowing the discrimination towards any human being in our society, we are now proudly proclaiming what in regards to this hypocrisy?
Indeed…
Today is a bittersweet victory rooted within deep sorrow; Knowing with all my heart, that progress in our country is completely tainted by religious intolerance/prejudice/ignorance on this subject…and nothing more.
