America has been subjected to the lowest common denominator of leadership for nearly a year now since this administration came into power. We have endured a great surge backwards watching everything that this country stands for in jeopardy of evaporating. Our LGBTQ community has fought so hard for marriage equality but are still denied federal protections in the workplace. Last year we successfully came together & fought for our transgender community to obtain the right to serve in the military. Now we wait to hear if the United States Supreme Court will do the right thing & rule against Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission or our LGBTQ community may enter an extremely dark time in this country in the name of religious exemptions. Watching mainstream media cover Trump’s shithole mentality only shows us all that either we continue to spiral down with this vulgar embarrassing administration or stand tall & yell stop this madness, we’re better than this. Yesterday being Martin Luther King Day should be a wake-up call for us all at a moment when our country feels hopelessly divided. It’s time to push the scale back towards equality & not stop until it’s accomplished. Dr. King stated that "True peace is not merely the absence of tension; it is the presence of justice" which is something we haven’t seen much lately. Remember that this nation cannot become what it's capable of being until it provides opportunity & equality to all Americans.
