Tolerance is certainly an improvement over hate, but it is not the same thing as freedom.

What does religious freedom mean if we would use it as a cover for hate and privilege?

It's terrifying to think you could become the next statistic.

If you love your country, you must be willing to defend it from fraud, bigotry, and recklessness--even from a president.

Bigotry that is known and visible is bigotry that can be challenged.

Trump didn't divide America. He just doused us with gasoline and fanned the flames.

Bigots often like to say they're the ones being hurt as they oppress and hurt others. Never fall for the 'pity the privileged' routine.

Building bridges takes us further than building walls.

Discrimination is discrimination, even when people claim it's 'tradition.

Calling for an end to hate shouldn't be treated as a punishable offense.

Saying it's hard being straight is like complaining to the poor that it's difficult being wealthy.

Those who benefit from unearned privilege are too often quick to discount those who don't.

Sometimes it takes more than shouting it to show your pride. It takes more than a sign, a fabulous outfit, or a month of parades. Pride has to resonate from within; shine out to everyone around you. It has mean something to you and only you first before you announce it to the world.

If you think being straight means you're being discriminated against, you're probably misreading your privilege.

Persecution complexes are reaffirming to those who benefit from unearned privileges.

If you'd combat bigotry, use honest language and call things out for what they really are.
