Thank you for joining us as we explore discrimination in all its unhelpful forms - homophobia, racism, sexism, xenophobia - these are just some of the issues we hope to cover here. I originally started this post after experiencing panphobia (that is, fear, distrust of hatred of pansexuals) on the Orble network, where I run the blogs Postmodern Critic, Daily Inspirations and Relativity Watch. Instead of getting angry I decided to get productive. It is my hope that PAD will attract people who are interested in eradicating against hateful forms of discrimination which undermine harmony in the world.
Whoever you are, wherever you come from, it's likely that you'll come face to face with discrimination in one form or another. Perhaps a friend of yours will have their race, gender or sexuality used against them. Perhaps you will experience some form of it yourself. PAD is interested in exploring every aspect of discrimination and what can be done to prevent it. Our world has never been more tolerant than it is today, but I know that if we work together we can make it an even more pleasant, productive and joyous one.
I hope that some day women comprise roughly 51% of the politicians in parliament (consistent with the percentage of women in the population), young boys and girls are just as likely to engage in romantic or sexual role play with the same sex as the opposite, and we have a black non-Heterosexual President in the U.S. But for now, let's work on demolishing the attitudes that prevent same-sex marriage from becoming a practice all over the world (with the exception of Spain, Belgium, The Netherlands, British Columbia, Ontario and Quebec in Canada and Massachussetts and California in the USA), let's reinvent race relations in South Africa, Singapore, Bulgaria and Hawaii, and let's reverse the limitations placed upon women in the Middle East.
I hope your time with PAD is time well spent,
