Who have you met that brings hate to the community?

He described himself as a 'neo-nazi protestant' with pride, and no shame whatsoever. First of all, the racism and sheer ignorance he displayed when it came to other people other than his 'own race' was disgusting. It's unacceptable and disrespectful beyond belief. I haven't heard somebody talk about people from different races with such hate before in my life.

The other thing he had a problem with was 'the gays', so he put it.

After asking me if I had a girlfriend and I said no, he swiftly followed with 'You better not have a boyfriend or you'll not be working with me anymore'. If it wasn't for his shiftiness and complete look of disgust, I would of put it down to joking tradesman banter, which in itself is bad but after working in the building trade for many years it's something you get used to hearing when your on the tools.

After learning a little about his past, I'd realized it wasn't just himself who acted in this way. His father also shared similar beliefs. The other striking thing being that his son also acted and spoke in exactly the same way.
Beliefs and views about people and communities are passed down and influenced by people before you and people around you. When they aren't challenged, they don't change.

This is wrong. It's influence from the wrong people that brings the next person down to their level.

I believe this man would rather die than get help from someone who is of color or was part of the LGBT community. How can beliefs like this get so strong and without sounding so cynical, will this hate and disgusting behavior still be strongly evident by the end of our lifetimes?

It's not just people at this extreme that fuel the hate. It's the people who do nothing about it and don't speak up when something is wrong. Like I said, if somebody is not challenged they won't change. There is no perspective change there.

People who are part of the LGBT community are completely equal to everybody else. People who spread hate and try to break the will of this community of people are not worth the energy, they don't add any value to any of ours lives. And the fact they think they can take value away from others just shows the sheer lack of intelligence and understanding of the human world we live in.

These people can not break us. They don't have the intellectual capabilities. They don't have the understanding. They don't have a heart.

We have to learn more about all aspects of people, we are all in this life together and I'm sure if you are here on Steemit you understand the power that we all have if we support and care for each other. By learning and understanding the walks of life everybody comes from we can create lasting change further down the line of our generations. Some people are doomed, they will carry on being the bringers of hate and won't change for the better, but they are not worth the breath.

No matter what, there is always somebody that needs support, we all have those days and it's always the little things that perk us back up and get us on our feet. So never forget to share your joy when you have it, you never know when you are on the other end of the stick.

I've wrote this post because I'm sick of sitting on the sidelines while people go on this way. I'm part of a great community and I need to make sure everybody is gaining the same exposure as each other.

Letting hate manifest and not challenging people for what they say is the route of our problems. We should stand up for all of the members of our community. It's not enough to say you support a community if you are not willing to challenge those who bring it down. We will actively challenge this mentality with support and having the posts of our LGBT community more visible across the platform.

Helping the community gain exposure is massively important. We should all do our bit to make sure every bodies voices are getting heard.

This isn't anything special, it's what we should all do. But making a commitment to change is the step in the right direction.
