Came from an event where I had talked with a nice gay gentlemen. I became aware of the struggles that any sort of difference can cause in someone's life. They say there is no such thing as normality but it's clear if you are different for any reason you face a uphill battle for life. I will have to explain and keep explaining my difficulties for the rest of my life and hope people understand. It is not to say I am perfect or without bias myself but bias seems to be worse in people who have faced few struggles in life. I really don't have an answer to all this but maybe we are made better people for our struggles.
Love this post and I do so hope that we learn what we are supposed to learn from our struggles and get to make a handy check mark of the experience!
