Thank you so much for sharing your heart here. I hope you'll keep speaking up, no matter what others say. Some people are so set in their views that nothing changes their opinions. But there are many people who don't realize they are doing or saying something offensive, and if they hear your perspective, they will do their utmost to make things right. Progress is too slow, but every conversation...every instance of standing up for what's right...holds the possibility of making a difference.
