I have a dream that I will be able to choose where I want to live and who I want to socialize with. I have a dream that I will not be judged by whatever gender, ethnic, religious, or disability group to which I happen to belong, but rather for my own personal merit - Good or bad. I have a dream that my rights to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness will be upheld, and that someday nobody will make a distinction between irrational and rational discrimination to justify taking those rights away. I have a dream that I can go where I want to socially and recreationally and not have to worry about whether or not I can get in the door. My name is Ramona Harvey and I dream that I will be able to be myself and do my own thing, and that whatever that thing is I will be respected for it. ...and I guess that's how it begins.
