Discrimination and Courage of the facially different.
http://www.peoplemagazine.co.za/article.aspx?id=42014&h=Living-with-A-deformity#.UeF49xCQ1Dw.facebookWhen are people like my friends going to be free from discrimination? It is NOT their skin color for I have several white friends with the same disorder. It is their face. When will the time come that others will fight for folks like them? Google the name Reggie Bibbs. He has more courage and compassion than most people will ever have. He has started a foundation called Just Ask.
Can you believe that people who are facially different have been asked to leave restaurants, swimming pools, theaters, etc... because they are 'visually offensive.'
