Before I am black; before I am 30-something; before I am a Michiganian;...... |
|
...before I am heterosexual; before I am very liberal; before I am anything that somehow defines me - I am human.
Seems like we could all afford to remember that from time to time, even here on DU. Peace. :grouphug:

I'm not sure what brought this on, but I'm a black, 30-something, heterosexual, liberal, Michigander.
I've been a non-posting member of DU for sometime and I just wanted to say hello to a fellow Michigander. Oh, btw, I'm human. thanks for your post.

7. Truly, this is what being a progressive means to me. |

If it rocks your world, it rocks mine, because we are both human before anything else.

Whether it be racial equality, marriage equality or whatever, if any one of us doesn't have it, NONE of us have it.

13. Before I am white, before I am 40-something, before I am a Michigander... |
|
...before I am heterosexual (I think); before I am a liberal, before I am female, before I am a woman, I am Human.
Thank you, marmar! Peace. Out.

I don't live there anymore but I was born and grew up there. So I still identify as a "Michigander"

All of us here come from different backgrounds, be they ethnic, religious, political, or economic, but we're all in this thing together.
Peace.
