in this day and time

If you are a "typical" Caucasian, heterosexual male or female, the things that you may not be aware of are shocking. Some things seem fake because of the severity of the situation, or because of how harsh people can be. In reality though, the things humans are oblivious to are frightening. We hear tragedies of how a rising sports star was shot to death because of an unfortunate turn of events in the city, a simple situation of being at the wrong place at the wrong time.

Horrifically though, the things that don't make the news, the things that aren't news because of the prevalence of how much it is happening, many times these are the things that are the worst.

In this video, it is a society where homosexuality is the norm. Should someone say that "heterophobia" exists, this video shows that the mere concept is simply impossible. Please note that the video may be triggering to certain audiences.

The things that certain individuals are put through is so impossible to imagine, this video can only glimpse at it. Perhaps we say that this is no longer true, that America is a more accepting society.

Reality hits that we are not. We live in a very liberal and accepting society, here in this spot in the States. However, other places are more represented by the video. Sometimes we think that our small little area is representative of the entire States as a whole, but the truth is: it's not. We can wish and hope that it is, but the soft truth that we might try and ignore is that the world can be a terrible place.

Perhaps we are wasting our time overseas killing innocents and soldiers, losing lives to a war better fought within our own nation. Perhaps we can settle the differences within our own selves before moving on to others.
