reader Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 It's a regrettable situation for sure. However, when you view the numbers of how two other industrialized western nations are currently faring on the standardized per capita basis, you see things from another view. Death per million United Kingdom 1,422 Italy 1,393 United States 1,285 Does this mean the citizens of any of these countries are better or worse than those of the others. Of course not. What it does mean is that this virus doesn't care where you're from, or whether you're gay or straight. It kills indiscriminately. Dividing one against the other was the tactic Trump used. We're all citizens of the same world. We're far better off reminding each other of what we share in common: our humanity, not our differences. If any group of individuals has learned that over the past half century, it's our LGBT community. Ruthrieston 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
