awkward conversations

I find this fascinating. Yes...the liberal instinct is to try and understand alternate points of view, and that is what runs through my heart. Everyone has the right to their own beliefs...difference is brilliant.

But does fear of confrontation stop us speaking out against actual bigotry, especially when it comes from friends.

Can you continue to be friends with someone whose political beliefs now encompass a green light to racism, homophobia, misogyny, violence, torture...

Do people have the right to beliefs that don't allow others the same space?

No.

Well done Rookie.

2017. Let's make it the year of awkward conversations.
