Still so far to go...

I consider myself a pleasant easy going person and I am usually not thrown off my equilibrium too easily. There are things that do get under my skin and strike the activist chord in my spirit. This is the story of one such time. A couple of days ago I was running through twitter and came across this twitpic posted by comedian Kevin Hart.
I wouldn't call this picture exactly tasteful but Hart takes it and thrusts into a scrutiny with his caption, 'This is why I'm getting the fuck out of la! Look at this bill board.' Put on the display by his celebrity, the ad and the alternative lifestyle is under fire. People looking to co-sign and sometimes draw malice towards homosexual individuals are ignited by this type of display. I have yet to see slanderous ads attacking the traditional American life that is force upon us but things outside the finite mold are constantly under fire. Opening our eyes we will see that as far as we have come in accepting family structures, we still have so much further to go.

  1. As I said before people would be totally dismayed and angry if they where on the other side of discrimination. Its not ok point blank...no one should be judge on their sexual orientation, gender, race, religion...etc. People need to get it together and come together
