Stop xenophobia
Xenophobia is the fear of that which is perceived to be strange or foreign. This curation collection also includes all the 'isms' in the world; racism, sexism, etc. Including homophobia. When are people going to realise that this behaviour is not right. Please stop it now and be inclusive in your world views. Reduce the hate in the world and stop all forms of violence against people.
