  2. Great quotes, such a brilliant topic. My favourite is the one by Connor Franta: “Race, gender, religion, sexuality, we are all people and that’s it. We’re all people. We’re all equal.” Because that’s how we all should live. Don’t judge anyone on what or who they are but on their behaviour towards others.

    But the other quotes are also fantastic. Well done, Lydia.

    Thanks for visiting my TTT earlier.
