You have pasted the beginning of your article in here twice! What I've quoted above is the breakpoint between the two. Please remove the second copy (I think you can just delete from the breakpoint to the top where it starts "Three years ago".
Also, you don't really need to say twice that you view this as a battle to make the wrong kind of people uncomfortable. It's questionable enough motivation the first time. May as well be honest about it if it's true--but really, once is enough.
