A Broken Promise

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."- The Declaration of Independence

 

Equality

A promise that should be so simple.

Equality

A promise we still fight for after all this time.

Equality

Where religion, race, sexual orientation, and gender is not reprehensible.

Equality

Where there is solely fondness, and no hate crimes.

Equality

Why is it so difficult to understand?

That love is love is love is love
