"Why is it that, as a culture, we are more comfortable waving rainbow-coloured flags from the safety of our lounge chairs and claiming that this makes one 'a good person to know' than taking our cues from how people behave to one another, particularly those of a different mindset and lifestyle?" ~ SelDear ~
I would like to know exactly why posting the 'Gay Rights' meme in my LiveJournal has anything to do with what I really believe and how I act on that belief when the rubber hits the road. Emotional blackmail is one of the core prompters of this meme - the unsubtle implication that if this meme does not appear on your LiveJournal, then you clearly do not believe in Gay Rights and, as such, are an evil of the magnitude of Osama Bin Laden, Saddam Hussein,anything that Dubya says we should hate, and the Iranian Nuclear Program.
I'm being who I am and saying what I feel, because I think that belief in Gay Rights and the acting out of those beliefs is a whole lot more than just posting a badly-written meme on your LJ.
