Those who seek that third option, who step above prejudice, who excite others to challenge the boundaries of society for the advancement and progression of humanity and rattle the status quo.... we tend to kill off.

Prejudice doesn't allow one to accept another at a higher level. However their values or views might be respected.

There are times on Earth when extraordinary consciousness invades everyday life. There are times on Earth when unseen forces make a calamity of the status quo. There are times on Earth when it seems as though a divine arsonist has set fire to the world as we know it.
— We live in such times.

The status quo sucks.

You may not find it normal, but as long as we're all born human we should be entitled to the same rights and privileges as any other person born in this nation. I do care that two men want to get married and have the bond that they share be called marriage, because I believe in and fight for equality.

When societies don't want to think critically, that is a dangerous recipe for destruction and decay.
