What does it mean to respect the dignity of a human being? What sort of support do human capacities demand from the world, and how should we think about this support when we encounter differences of gender or sexuality? How should we think about each other across divisions that a legacy of injustice has created?

This is an issue that always bothered me because I never understood why people fight against it so hard. If you don't like something it doesn't mean you have to participate in it. If you are against gay marriage then gay marriage doesn't apply to you. It's not like you will be forced to marry someone of the same gender it simply means that everyone, as stated in the constitution, receives their basic human rights. It doesn't mean you have to like it but you should at least respect the lives of other individuals who have been on the receiving end of discrimination for decades.

Since 1972 the ACLU has been working to secure gender equality and ensure that all women and girls are able to lead lives of dignity, free from violence and discrimination, including discrimination based on gender stereotypes.

This article is about peaceful and non-peaceful protests. In recent years, it seems like the most common protests that make the news have turned into riots. This article explores the morality and ideals between the two forms of protest.

It seems that mostly what's on the news are the violent protest. Those are the only protest that get reported. I do believe you can have a peaceful protest and still be heard rather than letting it come down to violence. With all the recent violent protesting going on it makes a person think about where did everyone's dignity and respect for one another really go.

Personally, I can see why nonviolent protests can be seen as a method that really doesn't get the message out, but at the same time it's a much more mature, respectful, and Constitutional way to make a statement.
