I've started to notice that, while it's good to care about lots of important issues going on in the world, a lot of the time it seems like some people have certain controversial issues that they care about more than others. For example, I'm super passionate about feminism and gender equality, my bf is passionate about the gun control debate, his boss is really passionate about marijuana legalization, and my sister's friend is really into veganism and animal rights. Regardless of what side of the issue you're on, is there a certain one that you feel most passionate about, or most connected to?
What issue are you most passionate about?

Definitely anything related to women's rights and queer rights. I'm a Women's Studies major and Queer Studies minor so it's something I've spent years researching in depth.

I'm passionate and active about a lot of issues, but number one would have to be sustainability. If we continue to use more than nature can restore — whether that's fish, or trees, or energy, or whatever — we'll be setting ourselves up for a miserable future, full of scarcity and regret. But if we can learn to live sustainably, our future can be very bright.

Equality is a big one for me, and that extends to all reaches of life. For instants, it is absolutely fucking insane to me that gays can't marry in most states. If someone comes up to me and starts bashing the LGBT community, thats something I'll get physical about. Love is love, and gender had nothing to do with it.

Rights for transgender people, reproductive rights, and... Yeah I admit I'm pretty passionate about legalizing pot too.

Oh dear! So many! There's one particular issue I'm work with daily, mostly dealing with women and women's rights. That is where I am most passionate, but also spend time doing other things like petitioning against fluoride and other harmful ingredients in our everyday products. Animal abuse is another one I am always on top of -- abuse and rights of animals.

I'm passionate about Natural Birth and breast feeding.
I also believe pot should be legalized Though this is not my main priority.
One of the more important topics is how backwards our society is, Canada, USA more so (most of the world). For some reason the leaders of this world are Politicians when they should be scientists. Why are we still relying on Fossil fuel?

You all have very important and cool topics.
Mine is the human mind / education and renewable energy.
Maybe I'm quite geeky, but for me most interesting topic is intelligence increase and the ability to have fun with my own mind, also the ability to enjoy and how to transform myself to become myself.
I think that education will have many positive side-effects like rising incomes, decreased pollution and I hope that it will affect human rights, especially in less developed countries.

The one that gets me worked up the fastest is privilege and entitlement. I refuse to feel guilty or obligated and will not be bullied into saying/doing things to make up for things I didn't do or have control over.

equality, domestic violence, legalization of marijuana, poverty, access to healthcare, sex education

Equality is my #1 but close follow ups are legalization of marijuana, access to food and healthcare, and educating people on sex, childbirth, breastfeeding, etc.
