Tomorrow's (read: today) Spirit Day to remember the teens who have committed suicide due to being bullied about being gay, and as a general day of gay awareness and acceptance. Wear purple, or make a purple ribbon because of it. If any of you guys could do that, it would be really awesome. ♥
I am... appalled by the way some people are treating this day though. Saying that they refuse to wear purple because "purple won't miraculously stop homophobia lol!!!" and saying that basically we should be ashamed for having this Spirit Day when there is cancer to beat, or any other number of things. Cancer is no laughing matter, but in the long run it's being fought against by people all over the world. There are cancer walks, fight cancer donations, etc while the gay community doesn't get many opportunities like this. And really it disgusts me that we are comparing tragedies we need to fight against or make a community aware of.
It disgusts me that people are going "fuck wearing purple" because it "doesn't make a difference." It's not going to change the world instantly. But all revolutions start from one small idea or movement. We might just make at least ONE person aware tomorrow, and that's what counts. I don't believe every movement has to involve inflicting violence against those who wronged us. it's just as much about peace. And really, it's also remembering those kids who killed themselves BECAUSE people are so intolerant and taught to hate the LGBT community.
Also, I want to save FUCK YOU if you're making fun of the It Gets Better campaign. Seriously, get the FUCK out of my life. Sure it's not going to help everyone, sure it doesn't always get better, but the people participating in this cause all have their hearts in the right place and are all trying to reach out to those who will listen.
I'm very not okay with how some people have been treating Spirit Day. Don't tell me you support the LGBT community but look down on this day. You're not actually helping your cause.
I'm going to go take a shower and make some cute icons to calm me down lmfao. Also abububu look at this cutie aguuuu
