You should know by now that prejudice doesnt just run to colour.

I just read it on our news site :(
I can not believe people's reactions! It's even disgusting!

We want children to grow up as tolerant people.
Where everyone has rights.
Where we have to accept we're different and unique.

UGH

*hugs to all of you*

thanks, I am glad to say that Cerrie is behaving with amazing dignity through all of this. It astounds me that today people can be so narrow minded.

There's a poll on our news site.
97% disagree with the people's reactions ;)
