Equalitiy

Reading the news lately there have been a lot of stories about equality. Imagine a word where there were no labels for LGBT and there were no laws against LGBT in any country around the world. This world would be peaceful and everyone would feel welcome. Reading Foucoult a person gets a sense of how this would work, and it sounds amazing.

Recently I heard tell of a 15 year old girl in Alberta who attempted suicide because her friends didn't accept who she was after she came out. This girl is a sister of a friend of mine and last night I had to listen to him say all he wants for Christmas is for his sister to get better. This world needs to know how to accept each other equally before more beautiful lives are taken.

Pari and Dilsa are two women who are about to be sent back to Iraq from Sweden and they are sure to be executed. Why is this allowed to happen? Dilsa's brother was executed for sending her a passport, and this is sure indication that both of these women will be executed as well.

Is there any way that this world can learn equality?
