The Kind of Hatred That is Out There

I thought for a long time whether I should include any of this in in my blog. I don't want to give it a bigger voice than it already has. I thought it was important to demonstrate to the people who may view this blog who are not part of the LGBT community the very serious, violent and scary things that this community is challenged with everyday. It is an example of a prejudice and intolerance that is, unfortunately, accepted in many ways and in many places across the world. These are a few of examples to show that even though in many ways the the dominant culture has come so far, there are still many examples of how, for some people, change is very slow.
