"Equal Rights. Equal Opportunities."


They say that God created us EQUALLY, loves us EQUALLY, and looks upon us EQUALLY. In God's eyes, we are EQUAL. But in reality, in what I can observe in our community, there is NO EQUALITY at all.

Poor, rich, gay, lesbian, boy, girl, weak, strong, beautiful, ugly. These are some of the differences we have. There are those we see as higher things and there are those we see as the lower things. Most that belong to the higher group are treated very well and as for those who are in the lower group, treated not that well.

We have OUR RIGHTS to fight for. However, those who are greedy, use their powers to be higher or make others down. Crab mentality as they say.

For example, when they are fights between a rich and a poor, the rich one will win. Why? Not because they are innocent but because of MONEY. Because of their POWER. Now, the poor one will be dumped in the jail and pay for something that he or she did not do.

Another is when you go to malls. They will give their best service to those who looks sophisticated while as for those who looks "disgusting," they won't treat you well and sometimes they accuse you of stealing.

Also in jobs. They will hire you sometimes because of your good looks.

There is a big DISCRIMINATION written on our community if that's the case. No equal opportunities for all of us.

Before, girls were just in houses, no chance of going to school and experience going out. While for the boys, they have given all the privileges to do what they want.

But that were just BEFORE. Now, we have this GENDER AWARENESS. What the boys can do, the girls can also do. Sometimes, girls are also better than boys.

As a conclusion to this, either boy or girl, ugly or pretty, gay or lesbian. Whatever we may be, as long as we know we have our right, we must fight for it and the opportunities are open for all of us so NO one is allowed to take it from us.
