"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuity of Happiness."

- the Declaration of Independence written by Thomas Jefferson in 1776

All men are created equal? Yeah, I like that. Nothing else should matter. It shouldn't matter if your man or woman; Or the colour of your skin. It shouldn't matter how much you weigh, or the colour of your hair. It shouldn't matter if you have tattoos, or piercings everywhere? It shouldn't matter if your gay or straight, or somewhere in between. It shouldn't matter who you make friends with, or what you like to do together. It shouldn't matter what time you stay up until at night, or how long you sleep in. It shouldn't matter what you choose to do with your life, or how you make your living. It shouldn't matter what neighbourhood you live in, or what sort of car you drive. It shouldn't matter what clothes you wear, or if they are "cool" or "not". It shouldn't matter what your interests are, or how you spend your free time. It shouldn't matter what music you listen to, or what movies you watch. It shouldn't matter what your favourite colour is, or your sense of style. It shouldn't matter how you talk, or how you sing, for that matter. It shouldn't matter how you walk. It shouldn't matter who you love, or who loves you. It shouldn't matter how much money you earn, or how much money you spend. It shouldn't matter.

It just shouldn't matter.. But our sick, deluded, masochistic, idiotic, crazy, bird-brained, moronic, insane, imbecilic, lunatic society somehow decided it does matter, and that infuriates me. Because somehow, although all men are created equal, yes; when these men grow up, society doesn't treat them equal. I believe that every person walking the planet has experienced some sort of discrimination in their life time. Undue discrimination which is simply unneccessary.

What SHOULD matter is that society does not judge individuals on purely that... being an INDIVIDUAL. Everyone has the right to express themselves however they want to. Everyone has the right to be their own person, but at the same time, be treated EQUALLY.

thank you.

that is all.
