Gay rights

"Why is that, as a culture, we are more comfortable seeing two men holding guns than holding hands?" -Ernest Gaines

We would like to know who really believes in gay rights on livejournal. There is no bribe of a miracle or anything like that. If you truly believe in gay rights, then repost this and title the post as "Gay Rights." If you don't believe in gay rights, then just ignore this. Thanks.

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

The last time I posted this kinda thing I was heart broken by the lack of repost

Posts like these make me feel a little pressured into it. You know I believe in gay rights, so I hope you'll forgive me for not reposting.

Eh, I think most people just don't care, it's not like reposting a quote is going to make any difference for gay rights. . .

/me ignores.

Homosexuals are gay.

People accept and will do what they want and how they decide to live happily. I won't repost this simply because I believe the people reading my journal will eventually - if they don't know now- my strong views toward people of difference lifestyles. Accept to be accepted and accept others and all that other stuff I randomly banter about when life doesn't get in the way.

You should show me this tablet-rpg in a little more detail next time you are on aim. I beleive we do something a little like this in Niko's paintchat, but am curious nonetheless.

I just have to say something. Reposting this won't accomplish anything, at least not on my journal. Whoever can read my journal can just as easily take one look at my profile and see yeah, I'm for gay rights. If you're on my friends-list, you should already know that about me, you know? It's already there for me, so I guess I don't see the need to do it.

Plus it just feel too much like a chain letter/meme that I'm being guilted into posting. =/

And now I have to add: I wouldn't have commented about not reposting this if you hadn't added that little struck through bit. It sort of felt liek a dig at people. You know? Like "you guys really should be posting this because you didn't last time and it upset me" kind of feeling. Which honestly made me feel bad about it. So I had to say why wasn't posting. It just feels to me like this post and then the one right after ot almost contradict each other. =/

But I could be reading too much into it.

It does make me a bit sad. Not in like an EPIC way, and not so much for Journals like yours that are very "This is a dairy of my life", but like I said, it does make me a little sad that people will post tons of fluff and memes and stuff, and yeah, this is fluff, and it's preaching to the choir, but I do believe it's something WORTH preaching to anyone anywhere, even in little ways.

It's not like a crime or a sign of you as a person if you don't feel that way, but it is the way I feel. I think of it the same way as some think of praying. Just getting the thought out there as much as possible. And it makes me even sadder that this is causing drama, and snarky replies. (not so much here, but someone else on my flist deleted it straight out.)

I'm not angry or pissed or anything, but yeah, a little sad. (Broke my heart was probably a little over dramatic, I'll admit. I just had a very intimate experience with Homophobia Monday that still has me a bit shaken.)

I support gay rights, but don't do reposts.

I replied because you've become upset in the past when people completely ignore these sort of posts too.

I don't support gay rights! :P
