Welcome to Gaia! ::

Mauimango7: I'm sure muffin won't mind me editing his post...^^;

But it's funny that this came up. Tomorrow is an important day.



Everyone should do this! It's a good way to protest people being mean.

Man, that's just not right! scream That was so not a coincidence. They did it on purpose.

Even though I personally haven't gone through something like that, one of my friends was banned from attending his senior prom because he wanted to go with his boyfriend, saying that if they went in they would be in danger from prejudice. That was so not right. The administration were the ones who were prejudice just because my friend was openly gay! And he was one of the most popular guys in school. No one was going to do anything to him. I was shaking with anger, and me and my friends started a petition on a roll of toilet paper. My boyfriend had to take me home early cause I was planning on doing something *cough, cough*illegal*cough, cough* to one of the administrations cars. I couldn't help what I was thinking. I was angry scream My friend was also kicked out of homecoming just for kissing his boyfriend (and it was a peck. no tongue. it didn't even last for three seconds). We crowded around him when the administration tried to remove him with force. It was funny seeing three administrator's trying to wrestle with his boyfriend though. They had to call the cops to ask us to leave. After I had threatened to sue an administrator for sexual harassment at the homecoming they kind of avoided confrontations when ever I was around my openly gay friends. They feared me twisted At least my boyfriend held me back or else I would be in juvee right now sweatdrop

Reading the comments above really disgust me D:

I'd kill them for you if I could =_=

It makes me really angry when I hear stuff about that >< That's completely mental! I'd break something if it ever happened to me and I'm very close to breaking something now ><

Closed minded people make me sick.

I guess one of the lucky few that haven't been crushed under the heel of oppression, but that's probably just because I'm not too open about my sexuality. Not out of fear or anything, I just don't view the fact that I like other boys as that much of a big deal (although that ought take take a U-turn the day I enter a solid, open relationship). Haven't even had anything even remotely close to as bad as in the stories posted above happening to either me or my friends, but I guess I'm just lucky. That said, it's not like the lingering threat of being stepped upon for one's sexual preference isn't present here... I just haven't personality been a victim of its poisonous venom yet.

To the rest of you... Wow. >.<
Just plain, all-out wrong. That's NOT supposed to happen in any modern and supposedly civilised society. Although such stories aren't precisely new to my ears and eyes each and every time I hear about such injustice it really angers me. Things have generally improved lately, sure, but we obviously have a long and hard path towards acceptance ahead of us, and one day we'll reach our goal.

I hope that it really doesn't happen as often as you though, however the sad truth is that it's quite possible it does happen and I don't know of it because I am a home schooled child who doesn't get out much. sad I really would like to think that the people in my area are fairly open-minded though.

All those things that those people are doing to all of you is sickning. Just because your different doesn't give them a right to make fun of you and hurt you! scream I have friends who are homosexual, even though I'm not, and to think of some one doing such things makes me want to cry. Lucky, I think my friends got the point when I perticipated in the day of silence. Predjutice is wrong. I wish all of you good luck. I love you all, friends?
