When you see your friends, neighbors, and family members participating in speech and acts that are hate driven, you must call them out. Hate is destroying all that is good. We won't always agree, but we must at least sit down and respectfully talk it through .
Some of the biggest dividers are politicians. They seek to divide us by race, sexuality, and religion. As long as we're divided, we are weak as a society.

Group Says Republicans Want To Kill Gays
It's fair to say that some Republicans are restricting the rights of
LGBT as free Americans, but when they take it this far, it's time to end
the false rhetoric. I have never met a Republican who wanted to execute
gays. There a few extremist who would have LGBT people locked away, but
thankfully they are far and in-between. You can't call out an entire
group because of the actions of a small few. This is the same as that
all LGBT shouldn't carry the progressive label or be called perverts
when many are also honest libertarians and Republicans. I have never
heard those three candidates utter a single word that came close to what
this group is claiming.
LGBT Hate For Caitlyn Jenner
When Caitlyn Jenner came out as transgender, many were shocked and some
came out attacking. When Caitlyn Jenner came out as a Republican, the
hate doubled. Caityln seems unable to do anything right. She is being put down
because of her life choices, political affiliation, and her wealth.
Homicides of Transgender Women in U.S. Reach Alarming High
In 2015, the right is still filled with hate for anything LGBT. These comments don't require a lot of explanation, but for the hard of understanding, this commenter doesn't seem to understand percentages. Even though there are so few deaths, the percentages are breath taking.

A letter to the ‘Christian’ grandmother advocating homophobic books for teens
Laurie Higgins is a Christian grandmother with a limited professional background (according to her bio). She has worked as “cultural analyst” for The Illinois “Family” Institute for six years, and before that was employed in the “writing center” for a high school.
I am not exactly sure what the job qualifications are to be a “cultural analyst” but whatever they are, they have not won Ms. Higgins many friends. The Illinois “Family” Institute is one of 23 hate groups in Illinois tracked by the Southern Poverty Law

New Black Panther Declares: We Will Hunt ‘Pink A**es’ Down, ‘Kill ‘Em
(The Blaze)“That’s our brother, brother General Taco!” the New Black Panther radio host announced.
General T.A.C.O. (Taking All Capitalists Out) of the New Black Panther Party had some less than encouraging words for white people this week. When asked whether or not he thought the hit ABC reality show featuring a gay or bisexual bachelor would be a "good idea," Juan Pablo Galavis reportedly told The TV Page's Sean Daly, "No... I respect [gay people] but, honestly, I don't think it's a good example for kids..."
Opinion
Dealing With Hate
I once had a conversation with someone about their hate for the political opposition. I told him that those you call enemy are often your brothers, sisters, and neighbors. They wish you no harm, they only believe differently. Are there bad people in government on the left and right? Of course there are. There are those who will do anything to have their way.People are always hating one another for a variety of reasons. We don't want to call out individuals but want to bring attention to the hate that is prevalent in the world today, and especially on the internet. Below is a prime example of the hate displayed by a one time GOP operative. It should be noted that this is not a partisan website. There is hate coming from both sides of the political spectrum.
