Most of of us know that life is no walk in the park and that challenges will inevitably be thrown across our path as we take this journey. But there is no justification in the whole wide world for discrimination in any form whatsoever, yet discrimination in one form or another has been part of society throughout time. I am South African and white at that and have lived through being made an example of by the world because of the government policies that were in place. I am glad to say that those policies are no longer there. But actually the rest of the world had no right to ostracize South Africa, how does that saying go, ' people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones...' What it has done for us though is give us the most liberal and all encompassing constitution.
RicoRacer Flux has started a campaign to promote non discrimination when it comes to love. This campaign is called Stand 4 Love.

In South Africa you are permitted to marry whom ever you so choose, so now it is time for the rest of the world to take a leaf out of OUR book....
Bravo Rico, I hope that you achieve what you have set out to achieve.
