Stand Up!!

I thought the video on homophobic bullying was an excellent way to show the public how peace can be created just by the courage of one single person. When the boy is made fun of and given bad looks for his sexuality he becomes a loner and does not want to approach anyone. This can be detrimental to a young teenager trying to find his way through life. It wasn't until the one boy in the green shirt stood up and took the other guys hand and proved to everyone that homosexuality shouldn't be anything to be ashamed of. Everyone should have the right to be who they want to be. The video shows that it doesn't take an entire army but just one single person to decide to take a stand in something that is wrong and it change the mind of millions.
