You all know I don't get into political discussions on Facebook, so I'm just going to tell a little story...
I belong to a religion that is not widely accepted everywhere. I have been the victim of ignorant, unkind behavior many times in my life because of it. No matter how much we try to inform or educate people about it, there will always be those who discriminate against us. I have lost friends when they found out, been treated badly, called names. I don't believe that ANYONE should be mistreated, and I don't care what race, religion, or anything else you are, I won't treat you as lesser.
But.... I also realize that as Americans, people have a right to do so. They have a right to disagree, not associate, or even to refuse service. I think it's sad, but I also know that if someone expresses that they don't want anything to do with me, they are the LAST people to which I would want to give my money, my time, or my energy. Why fight them? I say, let them go. Spend time with those who love and appreciate you for who you are. Much love to all of you!
