Gay Rights
"Why is it that, as a culture, we are more comfortable seeing two men holding guns than holding hands?" - Ernest Gaines
We would like to know who really believes in gay rights on livejournal. There is no bribe of a miracle or anything like that. If you truly believe in gay rights, then repost this and title the post as "Gay Rights". If you don't believe in gay rights, then just ignore this. Thanks.
Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.
Stolen from spacemonkymafia (quoting furiosity), because it says things a hell of a lot better than the meme did:
"I believe in human rights. I believe that those rights apply to everyone equally. I believe that the biggest, most blatant hypocrisy committed by many of today's governments is that there still exist marginalised groups whose human rights -- to which they are entitled by default, at birth, because they're human -- are not recognised.
Calling them 'gay rights' subtly implies that gay people are different from the rest of humanity and therefore should have different rights. They aren't, and they shouldn't. Every human being deserves the same rights."
