Love can morph into Hate

Love of self (pride) can morph into Arrogance

Arrogance includes a dislike / disrespect for others not like you.

Dislike and disrespect leads to hate.

Many in the U.S. are blatantly xenophobic and/or homophobic.

Homophobia is evident in our nation's attempts to prevent the LGBT community from marrying.

Xenophobia is evident in our nation's willingness to spend tax dollars erecting fences and maintaining outdated immigration quotas that do not meet our county's needs.

My votes are for freedom of movement, and freedom for LGBT civil unions.
