Why not? Because in the real world, no one ever drinks Coca-Cola blind.

The values for which we stand must be expressed in the way we think of, and how we deal with, our fellow humans.

Richard HeinbergBut how shall we excuse the supine inattention of the Pagan and philosophic world to those evidences which were presented by the hand of Omnipotence, not to their reason, but to their senses?

Thomas SowellWe as a society have created rules and laws and systems that not only are transphobic and homophobic but theyโre also racist and theyโre sexist. Because weโre all brought up in the middle of that, whether we want to admit it or not, weโre all on some level racist and sexist and homophobic and transphobic. It makes it difficult for other people when we turn a blind eye to it. We donโt agree with the laws that are going, but we donโt vote against them. We donโt like what our leaders are doing, but we donโt pick up the phone and call them. We donโt stand up and protest.
