Folks call out bigotry and blatant ignorance when they come across it online.
Thanks to the tireless efforts and sacrifices of countless many, the world we live in today is far more caring, understanding and tolerant than it was not so long ago.

Acceptance and inclusivity continues to be an uphill struggle as evidenced by how much racism, xenophobia, homophobia, sexism and other forms of intolerance still lurk out there online.
