24. As opposed to the voteres belittling others for their personal lives...
...and denying them important rights and privileges as a result of blatant prejudice.

The voting majority has frequently sanctioned injust and hateful things...like slavery, the annihilation of Native Americans, the Holocaust, and Jesus's crucifixion, to name a few. They have a right to their political views, and we have a right and--in my opinion--a moral duty to point out what is unfair and reprehensible in those views at every opportunity, including award ceremonies.
