And yet another person becomes a victim of a hate crime - this time because she showed support for gay marriage and it angered two people who disagreed! Here we go still.......I am pleased it is being investigated as a hate crime because clearly there is no other explanation.
Destinie Mogg-Barkalow and others who support human rights need this to be treated as a hate crime. We need to step up and say this is no longer acceptable! Bullying our children in schools to the point of them committing suicide, outing our college students relationships, denying us the rights given to other citizens- ALL unacceptable. How do we expect our children to believe it gets better when we are continuing to fight battles that seem to set us back? Governors having a say as to whether we should be given access to marry speaks louder than most anything else. I myself am not sure how this right to marry was even allowed to become a battle - except recycled prejudice. That is the only explanation I have.....recycled prejudice. The battle is really no different than battles faced by other groups as a result of prejudice, fear, ignorance, and hatred....recycled prejudice.
