Moment Differences In the world, we as a race have struggled with accepting the differences between our fellow-men and whether we actually accept them or merely tolerate them.This can be shown around the world however through one unfortunate accident Laramie Wyoming is plum smack in the middle of this chaotic mess and it led to a more specific examination of what people really think. It shows that people can tolerate anything, but that doesn 't mean they accept it. It shows the preprogrammed attitudes towards something different. However, this also shows that most are not all bad merely victims of their location.

Some people think that acceptance already .“As far as the gay issue, I don’t give a damn one way or the other as long as they don’t bother me…… Laramie is live and lets live.” While this might work for the heterosexual community the homosexual community could not disagree more. 'Live and let live ' is, at best, a load of crap. It basically boils down to: 'If I don 't tell you I 'm a fag, you won 't beat the crap out of me '. What kind of philosophy is that? In the Laramie project, there is the difference between acceptance and tolerance is attention. If we give it attention then we tolerate it. It no longer becomes a thing that we notice it becomes accepted.
