The Truth is Out There
It's really fucking out there.
Now, let me get this straight: this is a response to a day where hundreds of thousands of queer youth call attention to the fact that they are beaten up and insulted in school, meant to designate the fact that gayness is icky, gross, and worthy of derision... and they're trying to tell me it's meant to be "peaceful and respectful"? Yeah, and I'm Mary, Queen of Scots.
By the way, if you're a teen, and haven't signed up to take part in the Day of Silence, it's not too late. Just be silent all day today (it's admittedly an easy out for me, because we have a half day); someone will get the drift.
