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 |

As much as I support LGBT rights...why would you implore us about this when the day is on April?
And my school posted up silence days this month. O.o Kinda confused there. =o |

This is the first time i'm actually agreeing with krnxswat. I'm against it too. Even if i was for it, i dunno how i could be silent the whole day. I wouldn't be able to go to work or anything

oh so thats who you are on here
yeah, people tried to do it at school last year, and they said they had administrative permission, but everyone kept getting in trouble all day, and the people who started it nearly got suspended because they wouldnt talk. see, people are such hypocrites. every other day of the year they tell us to shut up, so we do, and we get in trouble for it

I would do this, but it's like, i can't. my parents, teachers, etc would get mad at me for not talking and it's just way too hard. but it doesn't mean i don't support gay rights and such.

Though I'm not going to do it myself, to those who say that their parents and teachers will be "mad/upset" with them, why don't you all just LET THEM KNOW AHEAD OF TIME?

If you truly support the cause, then you shouldn't mind someone's anger for one day anyway. Let them know what you're doing and why you're doing it. Most adults will understand what you're doing if you say the right things. I would respect someone for doing that because they believe in it even if I don't agree with the cause. |

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.
must you make everyhting into a debate? |
