It is time we found out. Social ignorance can no longer be used as an excuse. The blind eye we turn to homophobic crimes is no longer acceptable. We feel homosexuals and lesbians in American society have reached a crossroads. They must stand strong and not fall against the fear invoked by Shepard's murder.
Education is the key right now.
People are ready for the truth. The lies supporting homophobic attitudes must be dismissed with intelligence and logic. Now, more than ever, is the time to stand up and calm people's fears and raise their awareness of what's really happening in society. The country seems ready to listen - make yourselves heard. Weber was right - the media has gone bonkers.
