Discrimination From Within The GLBTQIA Community

One thing that the GLBT community is really quick to do, is point out prejudice and discrimination aimed at them by society. But dig a little deeper and chances are you'll find that some of these same individuals fighting prejudice and judgement directed at them, aren't quite the examples of tolerance and acceptance that you'd think they would be.

The rainbow flag that many of us proudly wear represents the diversity in this community, the many different people and stories and backgrounds, all in the same fight for acceptance and equality. To treat any other group in our community with hatred and prejudice, when we're all fighting for equality, is absolutely reprehensible. There is so much to gain from uniting and respecting one another and building each other up, and so much to lose by tossing our humanity and tolerance out the window and behaving in the same manner as those members of society who hate the GLBT community.

Wake up people...
