RE: Thoughts on equality

First, one cannot "demand" equality

Well, keeping quiet won't advance your cause much.

70 countries in the world still criminalise LGBT+ sexual acts between adults.

Hmm... I am not quiet, actually. I think we don't have to debate as if we are from different sides, right? I think you may know what I meant.
I have another approach to the world. When I see something within my range where I can take influence, I do. I never discriminate anyone for what he might represent with evil intent or insult or whatever. I respect and treat people with decency even when they have a different opinion. But of course, I open my mouth when it gets unfair for myself or for those who are close to me. This is the "world" I live in. I do not so much care for the rest of the globe, for I cannot demand people from different cultures to be equal to me, meaning my beliefs, my convictions, my principles or morals. Would I want "the world" being like me, I would be a tyrant.

Yep, but in this international space we call the intarwebz, we can share ideas and encourage those who want something better.
