Here’s something to think about: in 1983, it was legal in all 50 states to discriminate against someone based on their sexual orientation. The discussion of marriage equality didn’t even exist. Just 30 years later though, millions gather across the country in their respective cities throughout the month of June in support of the GLBTQ community. Currently 8 states allow same-sex marriage, and homosexuals are able to serve openly in the military to defend our freedom. It’s interesting to think about how an entire country can start to shift its attitude about a social issue in such a short amount of time. 30 years. What will we be debating in the year 2042?
Think On This"Think On This" is pretty self explanatory; whenever we feel like we've come across something thought provoking in our travels, we will do our best to share it with our loyal readers, (mom & dad). This could range from additional information related to our recent interviews or random thought provoking videos, songs, quotes, or photos that have resonated with the roadtrippers and have deemed worthy of sharing.
