Day Of Silence -VS- Day Of Truth... & By Truth I Mean More Fundie Christian BULLSHIT

[jesus_h_biscuit]

Tomorrow there will be many people - mostly students - spending the day in silence in protest of anti-LGBT name-calling, bullying and harassment in schools. The 12th National Day of Silence Honors Lawrence King, the 15-year-old California student who was shot twice in the head and killed at school in February by a 14-year-old heterosexual

I pretty much feel the exact same way.

Bullying was one of my two focuses in grad school. Now I am about to put my degrees to good use as I begin to teach in the fall.

The story of this little boy getting killed by another little boy really gets to me.

You are really an inspiration. Your 'quarter's worth' was amazing.

I will be participating in the Day of silence.. just not the whole day.

What kills me is that people that will choose to be silent aren't hurting nor offending anyone by doing so. I believe it to be offensive what the christians are doing by handing out these stupid cards. They're doing more harm than good... more so than they will ever know. Narrow mindedness to this degree is such a travesty in my eyes.

First of all God bless that young man...he became a martyr....when all he was trying to do was live life and be who he was
btw I dont force my beliefs on anyone...I do believe in a higher power but one who is all embracing...being gay IS part of the beauty of the higher power's plan ...for lack of a better way to explain...I just mean being gay is normal being gay is wonderful...I saw footage years ago of gay rights activists from the late sixties-early seventies era...carrying signs that said ...amoung other things..."GAY IS GOOD- TRY A PIECE!".

Could someone send me a copy of the gay agenda...I seem to have never gotten mine...and I want to make sure I'm turning the Right Wingers correctly...Its been kind of hit or miss I mean I DO take credit of Sen. Craig...I really had to use ALOT of Taffetta and cum to turn him...and the results still werent pretty

Right with you there... Back in grad school, right when DoS was starting, me and my fellow co-conspirators ran into minor controversies with the queer undergrads, because we're all from the Silence = Death generation, and thought that a Day of Silence was the worst message to send. I still am not sold on it, but as long as it's followed with LOUD speaking out afterwards, I won't complain too much...
