Equality For All

For some reason, this society is too buried withing denial to really accept the fact that there is an issue with equality within this nation. Now I may only be 18 years old, but even I am aware at the utter corruption that is prominent. For example, did you all know that in 29 states it is perfectly legal to deny a job opportunity or fire a person solely based on his/her sexual orientation? Personally I find that to be utterly unconstitutional. It shows that a person, even though they may have exceptional credentials and the appropriate needs to satisfy the position, they can be denied the job because they happen to be a homosexual or bisexual, or anything other than heterosexual individual. Now moving on back to my original point, I see way too much corruption in my everyday life to believe that there isn't a problem. Whether it be from the treatment of women, the treatment of individuals who are of a different faith, racial equality, or gay rights, there is a very prevalent issue amongst the individuals of this society. Why can't we all just learn to get along for once? Why must people be denied their basic human rights? Ok, so it's wrong for a woman to get an abortion? It's wrong for gays to be married? It's wrong to have Muslims in our towns? It's wrong for minorities to want to succeed? The only thing that I see that is wrong, is the close mindedness that has developed. We are the United States. The land of the free, and the home of the brave. Why must we all have to fight for our human rights? I hear so many people complain about there being too many Feminists, or too many Gay Rights activists. Well let me tell you something. If we wouldn't have taken the rights of these individuals in the first place, then there wouldn't be a need for all of these movements. When is America going to wake up and realize that our current condition is what's really setting us back? When will we see that until we fix our internal issues, we won't really be making progress at all? It's getting really tiring having to constantly express these ideas. Like I said before, I'm only 18. What do I know? Well I know what it means to treat someone like a decent human being. And for the rest of my life I want to do something to help all of those who need it. I want to give people a reason to continue on and to live life happy. I want equality for all people. I want to show this country that we can be fixed.
