GUEST OPINION

Destigmatize age-gap relationships

Men loving men. Women loving women. Different races loving each other. These are all types of relationships that we’ve come to terms with as a society. 

In Loving v. Virginia, the United States legalized interracial marriages, and in Obergefell v. Hodges, the United States legalized same-sex marriages. Our minds have opened to these types of relationships, but we still stigmatize one kind of relationship: relationships with large age gaps.

Freedom in America: Espionage Act

In America, we like to call ourselves the land of the free and the home of the brave. The Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the First Amendment, in particular, guarantee certain rights like free speech, assembly, and freedom of the press. The stated goal of the American Revolution and the American experiment in liberal democracy was freedom.

​What we have now cannot be described as freedom. This series will explore the lack of and suppression of the freedoms this country claims to hold so dear and why we are not really free.
