What feeds and maintains the vitriol is that 'unity' and 'acceptance' is preached far and wide. The reality, however, in making all these subgroups of people does the exact opposite, creating subgroups promotes division not unity. Why can't we just all be people? I have an alternative lifestyle nephew, hardest working, nicest kid I ever met. I also worked with alternative lifestyle folks, I've only ever thought of them as other people, not as a subgroup. If we were allowed to see other people as actual people and not subgroups most of this trouble would disappear. But the more we are separated and identified as something else.....we will all get nowhere.
