Did you choose to breathe?
Breathing is one
of those funny things – easy to take for granted – until you
stop doing it.
If you’ve ever run fast or done your own
taxes, you know what’s it like to be breathless. In fact, breath
is the stuff of life, which is why people remind you to do it
when you’re upset.
Believe it or not, there are people
out there right now who would rather hold their breath than
grant GLBT folks the same rights as everyone else. For some
reason, fear, ignorance and anxiety make us collectively hold
our breath, which when you think about it, runs pretty contrary
to the whole “life” concept.
We say, breathe easy.
There’s more than enough air – and equality – for everyone.
How can I help?
GIVE.
Help the Alliance For Full Acceptance continue the important
work of educating the public – through training in law
enforcement, government agencies, schools, churches and
universities – through media campaigns like this and through
thought-provoking program meetings with compelling speakers – to
achieve acceptance without exception for all gay, lesbian,
bisexual and transgender citizens.
