29. Many LGBT youth take their own lives because of how society treats them
Equality is far-reaching, coloring and shaping every single aspect of our lives.

When we are denied our proper place among humanity, many will choose despair.

Inequality kills.

It's why so many of us wore purple today. To remember the youth who are gone far too early, because society didn't just fail to care, it failed to protect them and it failed to understand that hostility, intolerance, and passivity can destroy people without anyone needing to lift a single finger.

That is the big picture you are failing to see.
