Intro

     When confronted with a problem, an issue, an injustice, humanity can go one of three ways: Defense of the victim, neutrality, or support of the attacker. In an era in which global diversity and integration go hand in hand, how is it that something as intrinsic to individual and socio-cultural identity as gender identity and sexual orientation can become reason enough for some to be discriminated against.
      Why does society perpetuate these problems, if not to attempt control over at least part of the population. Governments have ruled through force and fear for millennial; the difference is that now most people can speak out about social injustice without fear of imminent execution. I say most because I know there are many for whom this is a very real threat. Even in areas where freedom of speech is protected and protests allowed, if others in the crowd disagree, the individual's live still may be in peril.
