From Utah-As a person of faith, as an ethnic and religious minority, as a human being, I know what it means to be harassed, ignored and treated as less than a valued member of society by some people. I am grateful that these experiences have not been frequent.
The unfortunate reality is that at some point in our life’s journey we will meet someone who refuses to recognize our inherent, God-given human dignity. Those moments will be hurtful and diminishing, but for many will not necessarily be threatening to life, limb or property. Others, however, will not be so fortunate. The question for our government leaders during the 2018 legislative session is what will they do to combat those circumstances when life, liberty and property are seriously threatened based on nothing more than a person’s perceived religion, nationality, race, sexual orientation, gender, disability or age?
