RI Laws and Policies/ Woke Read Aloud (Reflections)
Reading about the RI Laws and Policies and watching the video allows me to reflect and think of my friends and family who are a part of the LGBTQIA+ community. I think of the ways that the world is so cruel and sometimes so full of hate and it's hard to even bare at times. I do not know what it like to be someone in the queer community and with that said I will never experience the discrammation and outright hate bestowed upon them just for being in this world. But here is what I do know, that I have many friends and family who are unfortunately plagued with having to deal with the hate of others. What I do know is that there should be no discussion on who gets equal rights and who does not, how to be a worthy human and how to not. It should be a basic human right to love who you love and be who we want to be and experience life how you want to live it. To be human is to be at the center of our own universe, to experience life in all its colors and its full potential. I continue to learn about the LGBTQIA+ community everyday and how I can be an ally. As a friend, ally, and future educator I will continue to push for equal rights and will not let the voices of the LGBTQIA+ community be silenced. We owe it to society and our youth to create a world in which they seem themselves and are treated equally no matter what.
