The main message I’m trying to get across with this social issue poster is that all these ‘facts’ don’t have to keep existing. People and youth shouldn’t have to be afraid to be who they are and they don’t deserve to live in fear. As the younger generation is getting older however, things are becoming much more accepting than it was before. Nevertheless, there is still hate in many parts of the word that shouldn’t exist anymore.
