The One You Love.


Discrimination. We all thought that was gone after the Civil Rights movement. However, today's generation faces a new type of discrimination. That discrimination is on who you can love. We say equal opportunity for all, Yet loving someone of the same sex makes you an odd ball. How can we let this be if we went through the 1960's. Why go back to a time of hate when we can move forward to a time of acceptance. Love is love. It is the most potent drug. So why deny someone their right to share their love in matrimony. Because the civil rights movements did not end with the 1960's. They won't end till anyone can say "I do" To the person they feel will be with them forever.
