Do not be an asshole.

I never cared if someone was “gay” until they started shoving it in my face, and the faces of our children.

I never cared what color they are, until they started blaming my race for their problems.

I never cared about their political affiliation until they started to condemn me for mine.

I never cared where you were born until they wanted to erase my history and blame my ancestors for their current problems.

I never cared if you were well-off or poor, until they said they were discriminated against, when I was promoted because I worked harder.

I never cared if their beliefs were different from mine, until they said my beliefs were wrong.

I never cared if I owned a gun until they told me I would not be allowed to. (or take the ones I own legally).

Now I do care.
