Yes, skellingtons are frightening. What an astute observation. :]

Spooky, even.

Dunno about you, but they certainly send shivers down my spine.

...you know...
...
...I appreciate the sentiment. I truly do. And I realise there are those who don't, and they could do with the reminder. But, like...I don't know.
If we're trying to erase the stigma, why acknowledge at all.
How about a video showing someone shaking hands with that lazy son of a bitch at his work that he despises. Or maybe a mother showing forgiveness to the person who accidentally killed her son in a car accident. Maybe someone trying with limited success to reconcile with his estranged father. Like, show one human trying to connect to and see the goodness in someone they have every right to loathe on a personal level, completely divorced from the accidents of culture and genetics they both are. That's a lot stronger demonstration of love, as I see it. I guess it isn't quite as easy to depict with a picture and six words.

Because these people exist. And they don't have the luxury of divorcing themselves of the accidents of culture and genetics they were born with. Their every day is an expression of their love within the brightness and shadow of their differences. It's not weaker, or lesser, or more unremarkable than the love someone might show in forgiveness. Though, these people going on stage to say, "I'm here, I exist, my love is the same as your love" is a kind of broader, universal love towards all the people they must forgive for hating, marginalising, and disrespecting them for qualities they were born with. None of them have the luxury of just ignoring the stigmas. They must live them. The least we can do is bear witness.

I disagree. I think it is more remarkable to forgive someone who terribly wronged you than to prance about celebrating your sexual orientation. Someone like Robin Doan is truly remarkable, and after watching a documentary about her story I can only agree more with Boo's opinion.

I already know you disagree.

What do you think of my point, then?
Posted: Tue Mar 10, 2015 9:22 pm
I think yawn.
Posted: Tue Mar 10, 2015 9:23 pm
I don't think Robin thinks yawn but okay.

If love is out of labels, it should go to the store and buy some like everyone else. It's way too old to be asking to borrow some from strangers on the internet.

That of the NINE pairs of people in the video, you saw two.
It's sad.
It's sad.

The whole video was a disguise for two. It's the gay agenda at play. How do you think I anticipated it?
