SHUT UP Options

[*mSz_dOrk_anGeL*]

Erhm, I posted this on Clique and yeah I wanted to put it here for more to see =/


Right okay, So whats everyone doing April 13th 2005. I hope nothing, this is the day you need to be quiet.

Why do you ask?

'The Day of Silence institutes a visible silence, a silence during which participants protest anti-LGBT* discrimination and abuse. Such an effort also allows us to reflect upon how powerful silencing can be, to focus on how we can make our own voices stronger and to begin to stop silencing ourselves.'

Now, some of you may have seen my topic on cB about the study done on abuse of Gays and Lesbains in school and can see that I do support Gay Rights. I'm just saying this is a great 'slient' protest and I would be happy if you took part.

I myself am going to show what I'm doing by wearing a shirt I will make that says

Front:
"SHUT UP"

Back:
"Protest anti-LGBT discrimination and abuse."
"Day of Silence 2004"

Thank you for reading and I hope you take part

must you make everyhting into a debate?

Am I debating or am I just quoting myself because my previous comments have already answered their comments? If you think I'm debating, know that I'm not even trying.

Why must YOU think I'm turning everything into a debate? Picking on me, are ya?

maybe they also TRULY don't want to get in trouble. i'm for gay rights, but in order of importance, i think my grades are more important then a silent protest and all.

And all I'm insinuating is that if you really cared, then you'd help the cause by participating, if you do care and and worry more about your grades then you really care about yourself more, obviously.

I'm just pointing out why, then, that whenever people say they're against homosexuals, that there are sOooooooooo many people step up to say that they're wrong, while there is a chance for everyone to ban together, no one is willing to do it? I smell hypocrisy.

theres no need to quote yourself, i read that. schools do not believe in the diversity and equality they teach. they are very hypocritical. and you are not thoreau.

Do you think that I think I'm Thoreau? Hehe, thanks, I guess, but I'm not trying to prove myself to be anyone BUT myself. I quote because your comment was ALREADY answered in my previous comment. I don't like rewording myself just because people fail to read me the first time.

okay, then i don't truly support the cause. i was just saying i believed in their rights. that's all. look, my teachers just don't care if i'm supporting a cause or not. they expect me to answer their questions or say something in class to them. I'm sorry, but i just don't want to get into trouble with my teachers.

So have you talked this out with your conselor? How do you know that your teachers don't care? One or all of them could believe the same as you but their job demands that they can't do it. You'd never know if you haven't tried your best to help.
