    Day of Silence

    Today's the Day of Silence incase anybody wanted to know about it this year. I personally am going to try to be silent, but I doubt that it will work since my family loves to not shut up lol. Anyhow...I am gay, but I'm sure a majority of you guys knew that though. It's something I had to accept within my teenage years of my life. It was certainly not easy...

    Anyhow, share your thoughts and feelings on the subject~

    I didn't know this was a thing and now I do. Awareness created.

      I'd do it if I didn't live in Gaybash, Nebraska.

              Just that you're a piece of shit who can't see reason and instead deserves a fucking beating.

                Just my opinion, being silent isn't exactly the best way to raise awareness for something. My school has done a "Day of Action" thing in past years and I feel it's a much more effective way to get the message out

                  I've got the Castro district and the biggest gay pride parade in the country so people are pretty chill about it here. They're even passing laws so that transgenders can play in sports on teams they identify with in Junior High and High School. Not sure how locker rooms work, though.

                  I've had two people come out to me and tell me they were gay, and each time, although it was a little awkward, I've been very supportive for them.

                  I really think part of the issue is that so many people build their entire personality and identity based on their sexual preference, rather on what the personally love to do.

                    If I was silent today, I don't think my job would've liked that, haha.

                      This. Would be extremely difficult for me to be silent when I deliver pizza...

                      You're awesome, holy shit. Second point is extremely important and most people don't seem to realize it.

                        This is totally understandable man. It's society nowadays...they magnify on almost every little thing about any cause, despite if it were good or bad. It's kind of awkward to read honestly, plus the fact that I still somewhat go to church is my way of being more aware of my uniqueness~
