I just want to know why the fight for equality has to be an actual bloody battle, littered with broken bones and broken hearts. What part of "justice for all" means only a few, and why are those few so surprised and then outraged when other citizens also demand justice and equality? Rights for me, not for thee.
From the labor rights, to civil rights, to women's rights, to LGBT rights, every single one has been a war against the accepted norms of a twisted notion of freedom, and none can yet be considered successful.
