or greater in this country supports the hatred?

It is easy to say wait or accept reality when it isn't you that is being treated like less than a full citizen, when you are publicly told that you don't deserve the rights promised to you by the constitution.

My brother and sister-in-law are gay and I don't want them to wait until it is acceptable to call out hatred and bigotry for what it is. I always thought that this country would go in steady forward progressive direction but we have seen the last 12 years the rise of hatred that we thought was over and done with. Yesterday was an attempt by haters to push back progress and to just sit and wait is to take yourself out of the fight. No thank you.
