Thanks for using my photo, Tom Blunt (@TomBlunt) and Signature Reads (@SignatureReads) in this well written piece. It connects what’s been happening to a lot of other happenings to minorities, including LGBTQ ones.

I recently tweeted/instagrammed about something that’s important to eliminate bias, which is to live and connect to the communities that are not part of our groups. Copious studies show this works. To not do it is to allow our own internal biases to drive the future, and why would we do that, especially when we hope to live in the future 🙂 .

The racism via white supremacists flooding Charlottesville this weekend shocked much of America – but there’s nothing new in these recent acts.Source: History Shows There’s Nothing ‘New’ in News from Charlottesville
