I agree with whats been said. People can be so hurtful with out thinking and sometimes when they are thinking. I've dealt with this with mental health issues. I've also dealt with this when people make homosexual jokes. I used to almost always say something, just because I felt it was wrong. But since my son has told me he's gay, if anyone makes a gay joke anywhere near me I'll say...hey my son is gay and that's not funny at all...it's what fuels bigotry.
For me, its easier to defend others than myself but I'm working on that .........good will towards all...........kasva
