Run away from that place man to the wrongful place where men in leadership don't  want you to go to that place where you understand sexuality is fluid, that gender identities are fluid and that the fear you have that giving gays rights is that gay men will treat you the way some men treat women.

Run away from that place man to the wrongful place where men in leadership don't  want you to go, where the suit in hot weather makes no sense, and where the tie is not a symbol of respectability, where respect is not about the clothes anyone wants to wear and wear leaders don't have to dress the part.
