I know we were all taught as children not to call each other names and we know how much racism hurts us as a culture (or at least I hope those reading this blog do) but there as so many more ways we use labels in our lives that shut us off from groups, from information, and from individuals and if you are anything like me, it takes someone pointing it out every now and then for a real wake up call to happen in your life so change can begin to rebuild your way of interacting in the world.

My grandmother and I went to go see Milk last night. It was the first time I saw it in theatres, which was nice because I could catch all of the things I missed during the first time I watched it. We sat in the theatre and bawled like babies. Afterward, my grandmother looked at [...]
