Racism , and hatred of homosexuals
who can stop this?
the answer is YOU. Racism and hatred on homosexuals has been present for hundreds of years. so when will it stop? Just because you disagree with someone else's choice of living isn't a valid excuse to hurt them verbally or physically. we can all be a hero by simply standing up for a person when racism or downgrading their sexuality is visual. if you have a problem with someones nationality or sexually don't contribute to to harassment just "look the other way". we are people no matter what size color or intimate interest all equal people with semi-equal problems in the semi- equal world.
