Our society is so close minded and many individuals do not even think for themselves, they trustingly think that if a law is made about it . . then it must be the way to think and act, laws are made for these kind of people.
Based on this cultural fact and working within the system we're given, laws have to come first in tandem with societal change. I know that you're saying that by actually making it a law, we're perpetuating these very issues . . . but again, we have to work within the system we're given, as screwed up as it may be

thanks,
