Let's be realistic--there's no way, in our current society, that a gay child would be able to shrug that off and take comfort in knowing that they're the same in the ways you describe. Worked for me  :D |

Kay I understand what you're getting at but when someone says something like "Johnny dances like a girl and makes me cringe" should we just keep our mouths shut and say nothing? Or say, oh that's perfectly fine because it's an Atop poster and coming from a good place? Again, if we don't say anything, then we are condoning language that in my point of view is offensive. How is anyone going to learn anything if we all keep our mouths shut when we see bigotry whether intentional or not :-/ I'm not Kay, but the way I understood her post, she wasn't talking about the Johnny comment. She was talking about the way some people were telling pretty amazing and beautiful stories about changing their minds from bigotry to acceptance, and still some other people were correcting the semantics and getting worked up over some part of the comments that weren't even slightly about the intended message of the author. Correct me if I'm wrong, Kay, but that's the way I understood it. hmmm, I thought she was talking about the words rabbitrabbit highlighted in her post but you may be right IDK. In any case, words matter, IMO. They are really all we have to communicate in a forum like this. (Not counting some amazing artwork, gifs and other visuals :D) |

Let's be realistic-- there's no way, in our current society, that a gay child would be able to shrug that off and take comfort in knowing that they're the same in the ways you describe. Of course they are, but their sexuality is what has the potential to get them ridiculed, ostracized, and bullied. It's a big deal. I don't agree with that part, judging from what I know thanks to my gay friends. |
