I’m a war correspondent, reporting on endless anti-LGBTQ violence
My favorite quote is from former South African President Nelson Mandela’s 1994 autobiography, “Long Walk to Freedom,” in which President Mandela wrote: “No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin or his background or his religion.
People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.” These days more-so than ever before, that thought is so true and applicable to the great battles being waged by American conservatives against other Americans.
It is an unceasing war where innocents, children mainly, lose their lives and in many cases their souls to the hatred espoused by the right.
I’ve gone from being a political journalist to being a war correspondent reporting on the casualties of this war as good people, decent people, are killed or die by suicide because they have lost all hope.
