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

People thought that Ghandi and MLK Jr was silly at first for protesting with non-violence...

I don't, but I wasn't the one who assumed so. If you have read the content, you'd know the ONLY thing I've said was that I was frustrated with hearing people claim to be supporters but then make excuses before even trying. Simple as that.

You obviously are new to this board. Many people here know that I never supported homosexuality.

I NEVER claimed to be tolerant nor have I claimed to perfect because I have "correct grammar"...

That is all.

There is a difference between non-violence and silence...MLK jr wasn't silent, neither was ghandi.

First off, I didn't aim my post at you...uninspiredfae... It was a general post. I only quoted you to make sure my comment about closet supporters would be understood. You shouldn't make such assumptions, you'll look self-centered. Just because everybody else put you on the defencive by attacking you, it doesn't mean everyone who replys in this thread will do likewise. Calm down, and read the comments more thoroughly.

I didn't quote you for saying anything you did not say. Why do you think I did?

I read the content of this topic. You repeatedly state that you don't like when people assume, so don't make assumptions yourself. Simple as that.

Why would the length of time that I have been a member to cb determine what I know about you? I don't think that knowing what you support is a prerequisite to attaining a membership to this board. I don't study or read all of your post, and I don't see why anyone would... You haven't said anything too profound.

I NEVER said you claimed to be tolerant nor did I say you claimed to perfect because u have "correct grammar"

THAT is all.
