"As a straight man I really have nothing to gain by standing up for equal rights for Gays, Lesbians, Bisexual, and/or my Transgender friends. Except for the fact that I have many friends who are still subjected to hurtful comments by a society that hasn’t yet embraced fully the nature of… nature. Supporting a limiting system of rules for specific people to follow is prejudice. It’s the Antithesis of Christ Consciousness and (like smoking) it’s Soooo last century.
"Allowing love to freely flourish will only enhance the life experience - For All. Imagine telling cyclists to stay off the road. 'These roads are for cars only! Those who dare to pedal on the shoulder will most likely get hit! Drivers will not expect to see you. It will not be the drivers’ fault if you get hurt.' Yet, by sharing the road, the same rules get to apply to all of us. And surprisingly, we all get somewhere. No one has to sit at the back of the bus." - Pop singer Jason Mraz, from his personal blog.
This makes me happy. Musically, I think Mraz is a bit lightweight, but this is as cool to me as Springsteen's statement.
