Passive voice blunts any message this article was trying to send:

“Openly racist rhetoric has become normalized at the highest levels of American politics.”

Normalized by whom, exactly? Space aliens? The tooth fairy? ZOMBIES???

Active voice would tell the reader the truth. The truth matters. If you care about living in a decent world, knowing the truth demands that you act —

“The GOP has normalized openly racist rhetoric at the highest levels of American politics.”

On June 28, 1969, police raided the #StonewallInn, a New York City bar that welcomed the most marginalized members of the fledgling queer "community": young, poor, and #BIPOC #LGBTQ+ people.

Fed up with being on the receiving end of state violence, drag performers, trans and gender nonconforming people, homeless youth, and queer people of color fought back.

The scuffle became a weeklong riot and marked a pivotal turning point in the movement for LGBTQ+ rights in the United States.

Friend recently returned from a work conference. Was discussing travel difficulties with a nice guy they met there, he reported that he and his husband recently tried to get a flight out of Florida with their twin toddlers. While trying to board early to settle the kiddos, they were told “only the biological dad” could accompany the kids on for early boarding, the other parent would have to wait.

I don’t even know what to say to this, it’s messed up on so many levels. But just, FYI.
