The issue of race-

I think they have done what they could for racial discrimination. For some it will never be enough.  I have come across people over the years that think they are discriminated against in so many ways.  I think they have the same rights as we do the same chances that we do. But to some it’s not enough.

The issue of gender-

In the workplace women are discriminated against like equal pay in some cases. In factories and construction where it’s a male dominated work place. Some men think women don’t belong in some construction areas like bulldozing and welding. I think if a woman can do the job then she should be paid the same wages and be respected by others on the job.  And as for sexual harassment it isn’t as bad as it used to be. I’m sure it still happens but there is a lot of awareness about it posted on boards at work places. People can be cruel about it saying she wanted this or she deserved this. No one deserves to be harassed or be afraid to go to work because of harassment.

The issue of sexual orientation.

Gays in the military, don’t ask, don’t tell. I think it’s really stupid. Why should anybody care what your sexual orientation is.  People make a bigger deal out of it then they should. To me it’s like the right to privacy. It’s nobody’s business. Military or personal.  Gays should have a right to marry who they want. It shouldn’t make any difference to anybody what their sexual orientation is.
