Yes and in a lot of cases what is right or wrong, and to what degree,
is highly subjective. We seem to get a lot of the opinions from small
groups of people rather than hearing or caring about the opinion of
the majority of people these days.

At one time the idea of what was wrong or right was decided by the
majority. That may not have always worked out well for smaller
groups of people but I think the only thing worse than the majority
deciding things is a group representing a tiny percentage of people
dictating things for everyone else.

But really, like with most situations when there are radicals on
both sides, the best choice will fall somewhere in the middle
and no group should have rights that others don't, or be denied
rights that others have.

The definition of fairness is treating everyone the same.


Funny thing.. I watched a movie the other night, not too old
(2022) and there was something about it that had me so amazed
that I was telling others about it..

The entire cast of the movie with the exception of one minor
chinese character were all white and heterosexual.
There's probably a message in there somewhere that that struck
me as totally amazing..
