I have three kids, all adults now.
Over the years my millennial kids brought home their friends. Their average friends, their lactose intolerant friends, their allergic-to-darn-near-everything friends, their vegan friends, their First Nation friends, their Muslim friends, their refugee friends, their athletic friends, their clumsy friends, their socially awkward friends, their deaf friends, their gay friends, their trans friends, their diabetic friends, their funny friends, their sad friends, their body-image-challenged friends, their shy friends, their boisterous friends, their modest friends, their "bite-me-bitch" friends, their friends who talk freely about their mental illness, their friends who are putting up a brave front, their friends with physical challenges, their friends with developmental challenges, their hipster friends, their musician friends, their nerdy friends... and they are all just kids.
They have their differences, but... they are all just young people finding their way in the world. They are all, every one of them, incredibly valuable human beings. I would go all Mama Bear for any one of them.
They are kids. They are our future as a society..so it makes me really angry to see any political party try to reduce the value of any of these shining young people for political gain. The UCP is not our friend. Please think long & hard about your vote. Don't vote for marginalization. Vote for the future. #abvote #abpoli #ableg
