   Yes and in a lot of cases what is right or wrong, and to what degree,   
   is highly subjective. We seem to get a lot of the opinions from small   
   groups of people rather than hearing or caring about the opinion of   
   the majority of people these days.   
      
   At one time the idea of what was wrong or right was decided by the   
   majority. That may not have always worked out well for smaller   
   groups of people but I think the only thing worse than the majority   
   deciding things is a group representing a tiny percentage of people   
   dictating things for everyone else.   
      
   But really, like with most situations when there are radicals on   
   both sides, the best choice will fall somewhere in the middle   
   and no group should have rights that others don't, or be denied   
   rights that others have.   
      
   The definition of fairness is treating everyone the same.   
      
      
   Funny thing.. I watched a movie the other night, not too old   
   (2022) and there was something about it that had me so amazed   
   that I was telling others about it..   
      
   The entire cast of the movie with the exception of one minor   
   chinese character were all white and heterosexual.   
   There's probably a message in there somewhere that that struck   
   me as totally amazing..
