Equality for all. Even people I don't like.

I don't understand why anyone would want to be friends with me if they harbor hate for other human beings based on anything other than a personal wrong they have done to you specifically. The color of someone's skin, the kind of naughty bits they are attracted to, the religion they believe, the kind of naughty bits they possess - these are all things that DO NOT AFFECT YOU.

Somewhere in the world someone is doing something I wouldn't do, and someone else is doing something I would do. Yet, here I am typing away UNAFFECTED by either. I believe that we all have the right to make our own decisions - to love, to hate, to spend, to save, whatever - so long as you are not depriving me or others of their freedom to pursue whatever happiness this world has to offer not only is it not my business, I don't want it to be.

Here's a (by no means complete) list of things that anyone should be allowed to decide for themselves:

To have or not have children.
To marry the person they love.
To practice their faith.
To run for elective office.
To educate themselves.

To pursue happiness free from fear.
