What America did you grow up in?

I grew up in a medium sized Midwest city where a cross was burned on the lawn of the first black family to move into the neighborhood in the early 80s. I also had gay friends who always went everywhere in groups because assaulting someone because you thought they were gay was just widespread accepted.

America has made a lot of progress, progress that the regressive Right is trying furiously to undo. The fight is never over, the rights are never fully won without risk of back sliding.
