No, Del...

What I mean is that I, myself, from reading, experience, and life 
figure out that what I was taught as a child -- that people with dark 
skin are inferior in some ways -- is untrue. I start to examine those 
assumptions, I think about them, I think critically, and I begin to 
change my mind.

So, answer this question..is it okay that lesbians/gays lose jobs, 
get beat up, get thrown up because of their orientation? Is it or 
isn't it?

That's the bottom line here..
