Equality

Does true equality exist?  I've seen countless bumperstickers and billboards and news shows proclaiming equality.  We as a nation, so it goes, must continue to shed the ideals of racism and hatred and enter into the next chapter, where everyone is accepted.  Gay?  Fine by us.  Black?  Fine by us.  Immigrant?  Fine by us.  We are told to love everyone and discriminate no one.  It's what the bleeding hearts are trumpeting.  But just make sure you don't disagree with them.  Because their love of equality turns into a vitriol-fueled rage with holier-than-thou undertones.  You become excised, put down, thrown under the bus, fired, kicked out of school/bar/position of authority because you have the AUDACITY to challenge the prevailing wisdom, to question whether we've really become more equal of if we've merely shifted the prejudice.  There's something wrong with this picture.
