Things don't just change like a dream over the night. If you don't act nothing would happen.
Not to spoil but If you watch the documentary, there is Mary Lou Wallner whose daughter committed suicide after years of receiving crude hatred words from Mary and her church.
After her daughter's death, Mary changed. From a religious homophobic person she became an advocated activist.
I cried when she said: "I would never imagine that it takes the life of my daughter for me to become this."
Change can only happen when you act. If there weren't for millions of us matched on the prides, donated money, screamed in protests, .... we would not have what we have today.
I know it seems like it 's not your job to make change but to be honest, if you don't act then it might not ever change.
So you can start now to make a change. Start go to your local GLBT meeting to find out about the opportunity, or join some national movement like the Human Right Campaign would help a lot.
