Who cares? I do! Here's why.
You just have to respect people for who they are.
Who cares about fighting hate? I do! Here's why.
Because hate sucks: Racism, violence,
sexism, straight-up bigotry,
one of my coaches for soccer called me a midget. I can't come out to my family.
People have thought of me as
weaker than them
less courageous...I'm afraid that they'll reject me.
It's very difficult sometimes, because society wants to define who you are.
Who cares? I do! Here's why.
I've been the victim of hate. It just makes me angry when I see someone being attacked
...Officer Leavitt, just started screaming at Twan. Started macing him, beating him...
The detective came over to my house
"Listen, I'm sorry to tell you this,
but your brother got killed last night."
I honestly just think that they didn't like that we were a mixed race couple with a child.
These kids attacked him because
they think he's a Mexican.
That's the natural instinct, when you're being beaten.
I can't imagine my brother, just fighting for his life.
You're helpless. We could have easily been killed.
It doesn't only affect one race, it affects every one of us.
I refuse to be another victim.
I want to have a day that just promotes love
Who cares? I do. We do!
I care because I want my three little children to live in a world
where hate has given way to tolerance, and tolerance has given way to acceptance.
Unless we all stand together, we're all victims. We're all the same inside, truly.
I think everybody cares, quite frankly.
We all have the same blood
what it comes down to is what you really put out there.
Who cares? I do!
