No one is born with prejudice and hate in their hearts. Prejudice and hate are learned. And can be unlearned. People have a clear choice. No one need remain ignorant. No one need continue a tradition of bigotry or hatred. In fact, we can forgive our parents or guardians who inured us with incorrect information and biased assumptions based on their own lack of knowledge or understanding and move on. Information, education, support is readily available from reliable, knowledgeable sources. Do your own research. Ask questions. Own your decisions and your life. Be and believe in who you are. As far as others are concerned, drop your own assumptions and understand that they will tell you who they are. Then, respect and honor what you learn. Be kind, just, and respectful.
