Because weâ€™re all brought up in the middle of that, whether we want to admit it or not, weâ€™re all on some level racist and sexist and homophobic and transphobic. It makes it difficult for other people when we turn a blind eye to it. We donâ€™t agree with the laws that are going, but we donâ€™t vote against them. We donâ€™t like what our leaders are doing, but we donâ€™t pick up the phone and call them. We donâ€™t stand up and protest.”
