I was looking at "toleads" avatar and thinking about equality and how damning it is that in 2012 there is still the need for such organisations to exist. One would think that after all this time and after all previous fights by people to have their rights recognised regardless of their sex, colour or religious beliefs we still haven't got it right. The world is still unequal. There are still struggles for equality. Women are still fighting for their rights in many parts of the world. Religious groups who are the regional minority still are being victimised. The LGBT communities worldwide are still not accepted into mainstream society. Institutions and groups like the GLSEN do fantastic work. Without that type of special people who fight on their behalf we would not have the freedoms we enjoy today. But I fear it will be many decades yet, if not centuries, till the peoples of this planet enjoy the rights and happiness we long for.
