It's Ok To Be Different - Or Is It?
All over Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and the news we see slogans such as "NO H8!", "FK H8!", GetEqual, "It's OK 2B Different", The Trevor Project, It Gets Better, etc. There are several different projects out there spreading the news that it's ok to be different and stand up for people you see being bullied because they're different. There's a news station that sets up various "What Would You Do?" situations in public places where somebody is bashing somebody else for the most hot button reasons (gender, sexuality, etc.) and I can see the looks on these peoples' faces. It's almost like they're thinking "Is it really ok to be different?" I just wanted to answer that question.
YES!
