Hey, don't get me wrong, gays are swell and all, but all these little gay rights things are starting to get just a wee bit annoying. And the biggest problem I see is that the people you're trying to target to change, are not on the internet reading LJ or much else for that matter, and even if they did nothing would change. The religios/unresonable reasons of the gay haters will basicaly stay stong till it is bread out of the human race. Much like the Black haters before your time, slowly ever so slowly the racism is being bread out of americans.
I'm not saying I don't want it to work, but I am saying that at the very least gays have the option to hide what they are, and stay 'safe'. Black people had it much worse, and in certain parts of the country they still have it bad.
Now I'm not saying I don't hope for these things to do a lot of good, my thoughts are that you're looking at the wrong people to gain understanding from<-- example: Friends. If they are a friend of yours because of your personality, who cares what they bang/lick/othersexualtypethingsthatiwon'tmention?
So in short, please try sending flyers out to alabama or something instead of gaining support on a live journal which is primarialy focused on being awesome for the teenagers of our time, who don't give a crap if you're gay. (from what I've seen)
The end.
-Ps, someone post a comment, my LJ is lonely.
