If I ever have a life partner again, one non-negotiable standard that I didn't have on my list over a decade ago is now a pre-requisite. It is being bravely proud of being an active antifascist.
I had always foolishly assumed that anyone who wanted to walk life paths, intimately & alongside me, would already know how important it is to be brave & to care about other people & the natural environment that we need to sustain life on Earth. How important it is not be silent & to join me in fighting against injustices. I was quite wrong to assume that. I've learned to not settle for less than an equally brave humanitarian.
