We're On Our Way!

     The 20th Century showed us that the very nature of ‘Separate But Equal’ fosters violent and divisive behavior in the entire spectrum of society.  Some privileged, white Americans felt entitled and joined hate groups, actively seeking out minorities with the intent of causing them misery, injury, poverty, or death.  That racist attitude oppressed an entire group of people for no other reason than the color of their skin, and holding Hatred’s hand was a culture where some felt a large sense of entitlement.  Sadly, this sense of entitlement exists today in a very complicated web of religion, politics, and power.  
     There’s no getting around it.  DOMA is unconstitutional.  Treating an entire group of people as second-class citizens because of who they love (read: sexual relations) is nowhere to be found in the framework of our constitution.  Who knows whether the Supreme Court will continue to leave the decision up to the states?  Some feel that it should be up to the states to decide their own fate.  Others feel that it is up to the Supreme Court to federally lift limitations on same-sex marriages.  Our country is on the right track, ultimately.  Overturning DOMA was a good start.  But in the end, those who cite the bible should never be given the podium because our country was formed for those to flee religious persecution and oppression.   Have we forgotten that?  
     We're heading in the right direction; I can feel that.  It's a good feeling, too.  Let's keep this momentum going.
