The Full Equality Act

There are so many things that we need to do, there are so many people who are mistreated or treated as second class citizens under the current laws. Many people have fought valiantly to have changes made. Organizations exist to help pass one thing or another. We need to pass Employee Non Discrimination Act (especially since I work at a University in Virginia), we need to repeal Don't Ask Don't Tell and the Defense of Marriage Act, and we need our students to be treated equally, and so many other things... so what we really need is a FULL EQUALITY FOR ALL ACT! It shouldn't be that hard we are founded on the fact that all men are created EQUAL!

The fourteenth amendment says... All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

So technically we don't even need to pass a FULL EQUALITY ACT, we actually just need to live by the laws of the land, but that seems difficult. So as we fight for one thing or another we need to continue to look at the big picture. We need to know that our fight will not be done until we have FULL EQUALITY FOR ALL!

We need to be our own heros in this fight for equality, as David said yesterday in his post on this blog. We need to do something to win our rights. The Time for Change is Now, the time to make a difference is now, and the time for FULL EQUALITY is NOW!
