Because, in the end,
that is what we truly are:
one
…and the same.
Same fears and insecurities.
Same desire to be accepted for who we are.
Same need to be loved and validated.
We’re one and the same because we’re all …human.
And as such, we all have the exact same rights.
Inalienable rights.
Universal rights.
Human rights.
The right to health, education and safety.
The right to equal access to opportunities.
The right to enjoy life in peace and in dignity.
When those rights are threatened, violated or denied,
in any way, shape or form,
THAT’s when we need to join forces.
To protect and defend those rights.
To take care of them.
To fight for them.
