I believe that everyone is a minority in some way or another. Some visually obvious, others not. Some allow this 'handicap' to get the better of them, others make it seem like there's nothing different about them, so much such that it makes you, the 'normal' party, feel awkward about thinking that they're indeed different.
Was on a dive trip over the weekend. There was a guy among the dive group that had one arm half the length of the other. He was with his family, was guiding his son in diving, was an underwater photographer, lifted the tanks with so much more ease then I could manage. He was a good father, a good husband, a good photographer and made good company. I struggled to explain how he was indeed 'different'.
