I'm not an activist; I don't look for controversy. I'm not a political person, but I'm a person with compassion. I care passionately about equal rights. I care about human rights. I care about animal rights. ↗

The nation needed an accepted position on such concerns. Hence the fines for not outwardly conforming to the national church. ↗
