Being straight at a gay bar
By ANTHONY DECICCO | Mar. 1, 2022In a world that’s so divided at times, it’s important to remember that we’re all human. It doesn’t matter what your sexual orientation, gender, race or religion may be.
OPINION
It doesn’t matter whose shoes you’re in
By SOPHIE MCNALLY | Mar. 1, 2022This mentality of solely fighting for issues that revolve around you and your loved ones is closed-minded. A one-point perspective takes root, no matter how well-intentioned you are.
