I'm going to dissect this tomorrow when I actually have time, because there's no way you can be serious.
I'll try to cover you, but you'll probably do a better job at it than me
Their ribbon color:
what?
...why
I did a research project for school one time on colorectal cancer. We were to make a poster, and I decided to include a picture of the ribbon for it (blue star-shaped ribbon, by the way). I found a neat website that listed all the diseases that each ribbon represents, and it was interesting to read through all of them. However, I came across the rainbow ribbon, which exclusively represented gay rights. This irked me quite a bit, because who gave them the right to claim a pretty special ribbon color just for themselves?
are you loving SERIOUS
well who gave the diseases rights to claim a pretty special ribbon color just for themselves?
Why should we have pretty special ribbons for terrible things like diseases and not happy things?
Why should things even have pretty special ribbons? Because it is a quick way to get a message across about something.
it doesn't have to be a ribbon but ribbons have come to represent issues that need awareness
Now we can't see the phenomenon of a rainbow or even the color scheme without being reminded of something we don't support.
what the forget
that's like saying that because you saw breast cancer ribbons now you can't play Kirby without thinking about breast cancer
or that because you saw colorectal cancer ribbons now you can't go swimming without thinking about colorectal cancer
or that because you saw blood now you can't play Kirby without thinking about blood
or that because you saw a guy with long hair now you can't look at girls with long hair without thinking about guys with long hair
or that because you saw a dog viciously attack someone now you can't look at even the tiniest dogs without thinking about someone being viciously attacked
i could do this all day...
And by using a symbol usually reserved for diseases or societal problems, are they actually calling themselves a problem or, dare I say, disease?
no, because it's just for
awareness of an issue
The propaganda:
forget WHAT THE star fish WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT
People accuse the churches and other groups of preaching to hate gays (my church doesn't teach this. In short, we are told to ignore them)
well the problem is that many religious people are conservative, therefore most churches are actually preaching words to that effect
Or maybe it's not said in the church, but out of it by a member of it.
but I have seen so much preaching of a different sort from the gays. It is everywhere, have you even seen those "when you say gay, do you realize what you say?" commercials? They play on Nickelodeon two at a time, back-to-back for some reason.
actually, I have not
can you also tell us what your problem with the commercial is?
I assume "preaching" but maybe not, because then that means you hate every commercial, and indeed, anything trying to get a point across
My school has a Gay-Straight Alliance, and every year they host a "day of silence" where if you are LGBT or a supporter, you wear a little rainbow ribbon and remain silent for the entire designated day.
...okay? Do you have some kind of problem with this too?
"Fine," I think, "let them have their day of silence," because most of the time you can't get them to shut up.
WOW, JUST LIKE MOST EVERYBODY ON THE PLANET
*clapclapclap*
i bet you would probably not say this for most other "day/moment of silence"-type things
The transparency:
what the forget
if this is a public issue how do you go about being opaque about things
Probably my biggest reason why I find no reason to support them.
It's all so fake, this movement. You look at all the advertisements, the protests, and it seems so forced and dysfunctional. The gays themselves, they way they talk, the way they carry themselves about and get some strange
euphoria from their "pride".
it's okay to be takei
acting normal never put anyone in the news for the most part
Has anyone noticed that all LGBT of the same type talk almost the same way?
...no
(probably because they don't)
It just sounds so fake because I, being straight as an iron rod, could easily and quite suddenly make everyone think I was gay simply by talking and acting a different way without saying I was gay or acting attracted to any other guys.
you must live around gullible people
I mean if you put on a fake British accent nobody and change a few of your behaviors, you won't fool anyone
Some weeks ago, I encountered what I thought was an unsightly girl working at the Gamestop at the Columbia Mall (yes, the one with the recent shooting). I proceeded to browse through the games like any teenager without any money. "Can I help you?" said a male voice behind me . I turned around and found myself facing what turned out to actually be a guy who had had work done on certain parts of his body.
okay
"No thanks" I said, not quite stopping the motion of turning around. First, it was disturbing. Second, as soon as I realized who it was, the female identification left my mind immediately. No longer was it or ever had been a guy-legally-turned-girl, he was now just a guy who had done something frankly horrible to himself. It was sad, really.
...I have almost no comments for this
it's sad like all of your flimsy arguments
The facade is made of paper.
WHAT FACADE
IF HE WANTS TO BE LIKE THAT, THAT'S HOW HE WANTS TO BE
THERE IS NO loving FACADE GODDAMNIT
I wish not to have this sound like a rant, and I believe that I managed to meet that goal.
you believe incorrectly
So if you have managed to read this, thanks for taking the time, I really needed to get that out of my system. Again, I don't hate the gays, only what they do.
but what someone does is inseparably attached to their personality
their personality is what causes them to act in the manner they do
I don't understand how you hate someone's actions but not them, unless it was like a one-time thing
