Before reading this, please read this blog to get exactly what I'm ranting about: http://blog.dayofsilence.org/2008/04/why-day-of-silence-exists.html. And if you comment asking what I'm talking about, I will rip you a new one for being an incompetent retard.
First off, I'd like to point out that nobody is pushing anything onto anyone. This is a protest. Merely a protest. And as a matter of fact, it's a silent protest. Nobody is holding up picket signs or rioting or going around saying the gay lifestyle is better. And if you know someone who is, if you know a gay person who's going around to every straight person trying to turn him, then by all means bring him to me so I can slap him. Because no lifestyle is better than the other. It's just life, so live it the fucking way you want. And don't try to force other people towards your way of thinking, especially through force. All this silent protest wants is peace.
Onto the subject of religion, which is the counter-argument that everyone seems to throw at you when you mention this. Now, I'm not an avid Bible reader. I try to do my best to be a good person. I follow the Ten Commandments, as well as the Golden Rule, but I am clearly not a man of perfection, and I make mistakes. I apologize for these faults, and I try and forgive myself for my wrong-doings. And as I am not an avid Bible reader, I do not know where in the Bible it speaks out against sexual deviancy, nor do I know if it even clearly defines what sexual deviancy is. For all we know, by sexual deviancy, it merely means screwing a chicken. But what I do know is that it clearly does not say anything about sexual orientation in the Ten Commandments, the laws held above all. And one of those Commandments, and I quote, is "Thou shalt not kill." So even if it does forbid homosexuality in the Bible, killing is still a greater sin. So go ahead. If you're right, and God does punish us, then go right on ahead and kill us. I just can't wait to see you in a deeper ring of hell.
But out of all the scandalous, depraved, and terrible remarks made, this was by far the worst. "...that 15-year-old Larry King pretty much got what he deserved..."
No one deserves to be shot. Ever. No one deserves to be discriminated against for anything, no matter what. These kinds of thoughts are what sparked such events as the Crusades, the Holocaust, the Detroit Riot, the 12th Street Riot, and so forth. And my friend? Here's something for you to think about. We don't see what we want to see. On the contrary, we want to see less of what we do see. And remarks such as yours does nothing but to clarify, what you call, our perverseness opinion on how the world is run. Perhaps it's you who sees only what you want to see. "Boys should act like boys and dress like boys, and girls should dress like girls"? Yes, so you basically want to go the exact opposite of the sexual equality revolution, hmm? Don't you dare condone the murder of anyone, especially the murder of a teenager, committed by another teenager. To basically praise this boy for his criminal actions is nothing short of disgusting.

That was very well written and quite kick ass I must day!
I love this part: "So go ahead. If you're right, and God does punish us, then go right on ahead and kill us. I just can't wait to see you in a deeper ring of hell."
People are quite stupid in today's world I'm afraid. They preach freedom and equality and yet when given the chance to prove these so called beliefs they hide in the shadows (like the French). x3 Maybe one day it'll be okay to be gay y'know? African Americans have come a long way I think. Asians. Hispanics. We all have. Things seem to be leveling out a little more each day. Hopefully for everyone.
To the day of silence, mum's the word~
I will happily go to hell for supporting the Day of Silence! And by what logic do they figure that he deserved to be shot? In the bible, where it says that two man may not lay together, it also says 'thow shall not eat shrimp'.... so apparently most of us are going to hell anyways.
People fear what they do not understand, and become violent from their own insecurities. Homosexuals and those who support them did nothing wrong.
Thank you for sheeding some light on the issue. To the Day of Silence.
James, i love the points you make. you're a very good writer =]
there's alot of ignorant incompitent(sp? lol) people out there.
Sorry James, but I shall now step up for the Bible and ready myself to be flamed by other people who read this with comments to me along the lines of "Well fuck you, old-fashioned geek whore", "Conservative and closed-minded", and "Christian". (Hehehe, bet that made people calm down and think "Ooh...well, I wouldn't say that, so I shall now act totally calm while I read this and respond with open-minded comments" <3)
Don’t get me wrong here. I absolutely agree with you in this entry, especially about what you say about people getting killed over something silly like that. There is no excuse for murdering somebody. It’s taking a life from a person who may have had special things planned for them. Nobody deserves to die just because they like something that not many other people agree with. It’s like somebody getting murdered for playing Dungeons and Dragons >_> …of course, that was just an example, D&D is awesome <3 Lets just hope now that I pass my checks during this comment and not make myself seem too dumb =w=; D20, don’t fail me now!!
I am going to be blunt here about what I want to say – it makes me sad when it comes to people who say stuff about the Bible when they openly say that they don’t read it much. This is referring to you people who made your comments that have to do with the Bible too (if you’re even reading this comment, which I hardly doubt, but I digress =w=; ). To be honest, it’s just making you sound totally ignorant. Don’t mention the Bible unless you’ve studied into it and understand what it’s trying to say before making a comment on it.
…sorry if that seemed harsh, but it had to be said. Either way though, very nice entry. I approve =3
