I discovered this comic book in Indigo yesterday. It's a great compilation of comics by a variety of writers and artists to raise funds for the survivors of the Orlando Pulse Shooting in 2016. All the contributors donated their work for free and the result is something that is mostly moving and beautiful. Some of the stories are more personal than others, but they all share the same message - 'love is love.' One quote that stayed with me a little longer than some of the others was from the page written by J.R. Rand:

"Even if you don't agree with other people -- with what they believe, or what they choose, or who they are -- it doesn't mean you should punish them. Race, religion, sexuality, identity, all of it. Love for everyone. Acceptance, tolerance, however you need to think of it. At the very least, just live with each other, and we'll all be in a better world. That's a truth we should all be able to accept."

Maybe if we all lived like this our world would be a better place.
