These are the values I believe in.

Certain prejudices are still acceptable in American culture, and equal rights are still not granted to all people.

A major opponent of equal rights is the movement of conservative religious theocrats who are using the Republican party to make the United States a land where beliefs different than their own are simply not allowed.
