12. Good, I'm glad that you feel like this because I find it interesting that people seem to get stuck

on the idea that because this was from another incident, we don't have to be concerned about what people are going through in countries where you have state sanctioned gay bashing....My grandfather was part of the first troops that helped to liberate Auschwitz & he NEVER forgot what he saw and smelled. He was a black man of mixed descent and although he had seen and experienced hatred but when he saw that HUGE complex of interconnected camps filled with the dead, the decomposed and the walking dead, (FOR REAL) he was enraged. I will NEVER back down from anyone who minimises the suffering of another human being at the hands of another because of hatred.
