septembermorn, unfortunately i know that each person at that table hold those beliefs, my dad for instance, is homophobic, sexist, racist etc. he has very strong beliefs because thats how his parents brought him up. and unfortunately, my bro and sis absorbed these beliefs but i was the lucky one by being so strong minded.

what makes me different to them then, why did i reflect these beliefs away from myself and believe my own beliefs? interesting question isnt it.
