... And also this is why I kind of heart the US. Namely, their First Amendment.
Nobody realises how amazing it is, to actually have that freedom. You can try to understand what it feels like, but you'll never really know. Not until you've been there. Not until you know what it feels like to be told, "You're not allowed to say that," or "You're not allowed here", "You're a freak", and have your whole world be oppressed and threatened on a daily basis. And I hope to whatever, that you will never know. Because it's a kind of world I wouldn't wish on anyone. It's a world infiltrated by hate, and it's an ugly world.

Sadly, I'm in a place where I can't help this cause and protest. Because I don't have that freedom. I don't have a hope that by being here, I ever will have that freedom.
But for those who do have that freedom, not just in the US, but anywhere else, do what you can and protest against hate. Today, on this National Day of Protest, you have the opportunity to make a change. Take it and use it.
