John Lents: 'We are being forced to honor and respect others while being denied that same honor and respect.'
The Supreme Court is seen in Washington, on Nov. 5, 2020.Almost eight years ago to today, I sat in my living room digesting the joy and appreciating the efforts of so many who had worked forand enjoy the rights that so many others in this country have enjoyed for so long.
I’ve been fortunate to live a life free of much bias. I was raised to not allow the biases and actions of others to hamper my own growth, self-image and confidence. I recognize it as an emotionally- and intellectually-privileged life, a bubble of sorts. So for one of the first times, I’ve had to come face to face with the realities that so many others have dealt with as part of marginalized religious, ethnic or racial communities.
Although the practical implications of this judicial decision have yet to be understood, the emotional gut punch to me, to my husband, our friends and our community has been immediate and deep. We are for the moment, adrift, unsure and angry.
