Day of Silence

[Feign]

Yeah, I get that. My question is what is being silent going to do?

*slaps forehead*

The purpose of this, is to show or emulate the ignorance some people place towards the LGBT community. That being persecuted disallows them from having a voice in the matter...

It's a silent protest, not a movement to change things politically... voice is needed for that.

What is this thread about again? Lost track awhile ago. Is there an argument going on?

EDIT: SILENT PROTEST? Why don't they just stop talking to those who oppose homosexuals and others in general?

^ Because people can't learn to accept everyone.

No....not everyone is EVER going to accept everybody else and that is just human nature...unchangable by the likes of you or me.

Yeah, so tell me why we have a day of silence for the gays, transexuals, etc? They're no different to anyone else, really. They just like the same gender as themselves. I think it's bad we have a day of silence for them because hell, you're like pushing them from the rest of the population and giving them a 'special day' where everyone is silent for them. Just treat them equally and everything will be fine.

Again, I love gays. This is not by any means a gay bashing post.

While it is nice to know you have accepted LGBTs and such, there are still those who persecute them, even countries with less rights (of course), thus, this is like a demonstration of essentially what it feels like to be voiceless. It's like the same reason why it is hard for them to come out. Saying "Well then just come out, you shouldn't have to fear it." is not enough.
