The way to stop hate

[Chris James]

All the legal challenges to gay rights in courts across the land may change laws but may not change hearts. If gay people expect government alone to bring about the changes we desire in our social structure then we are wrong.

In times past we have seen that the younger generations can exert great pressure on society and in time change minds and hearts. I found this article and the event it portrays as a nudge in the right direction. It isn't often that college students crawl out of their dorm rooms and bring their feelings into the light of day...but this makes me want to stand up and cheer them on.
