Should our country celebrate Equality Day?

“Yes. I love the holidays. You get a chance to be with family. But Equality Day should be for everyone, not just the LGBT community. Everyone should be treated equal. August would be a good month for [Equality Day.] There’s no other holiday in that month.”

“Yes. There can never been too many holidays. It should be combined with Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. Rename that holiday Equality Day, to show that we’re all equal. I like the sound of Equality Day.”

“Yes. There’s a lot of history and struggle to honor and remember. I think having Equality Day in this country would be very fitting. There should always be more holidays, especially if you get off of work!”

“Yes, it would be good to have that. It’s been a neglected area for so long. There are holidays for everything else under the sun in this country, why not Equality Day? I have family members who are LGBT. I support LGBT rights.”
