The Fight

Several events lately have affirmed my resolve to fight for those who do not have a voice, for those who might be afraid to speak out. It deeply saddens and infuriates me when people are not given the same opportunities. I can honestly say that I have never been so moved in the past couple of days. I now know and understand why human rights is a passion and protecting people has never been higher on my to-do list. Not much more can be said. I'm very diplomatic and pragmatic, but you best believe I do not concede when it comes to opportunities and rights for other people. It is as simple as that. It is something I possibly could not be more passionate about and seems like a no-brainer. But we still have people trying to stifle minority groups and put up with hate crimes and violence against others. This is why I am a feminist and speak up for the gay community. This is why I have educated people about conflicts happening on the other side of the world. This is why I have educated people about the DREAM Act. All so I can leave the world a better place than when I entered it. I am a very even-tempered person, but cross me on this subject and you best believe I will stand up for others.
