Enjoy the Silence
Tomorrow is the National Day of Silence, meant to draw awareness for GLBT individuals. By staying silent, we mean to raise awareness about bullying, discrimination, and harrassment.
And of course, there's the Day of Truth, which is meant to shit all over that. Note to the religious right: We are not doing the Day of Silence so that we can put forward the idea of gay marriage, or gay adoption, or anything that big. We are doing it because we don't like being assaulted, beaten up, or harrassed because we are gay. It's that simple. It is not part of "the homosexual agenda," but part of the expectations every child has when they go to school, or every adult has when walking down the street.
Then again, this is still probably too much for some members of the religious right. To which I say, fuck them sideways.
