                    I think maybe talking to a gay person and better understanding might help more. Everyone not talking just seems like forced isolationism to me. Which is the problem in the first place.

                                Why does everyone have to be so negative all the time? Yes, a day of silence isn't going to magically change the world overnight, but that's not the point. The point is that someone has to start somewhere.

                                What's wrong with showing your support online as well as in real life?

                                    3) That people can actually tell when you're not posting for a reason other than that you're just not at your computer / don't care about the forums / don't see any threads worth posting in.

                                    This does not work electronically. It only works verbally. The fact that you even attempted to do this is laughable.

                                    Want to be supportive of gay friends? How about when you're in a group of people and someone makes fun of one, you step in and say 'hey that's not cool'. This is ten thousand times more effective than just being silent for a day.
                                    Reading the thread sometimes helps.

                                        This post failed almost as much as most people claim this thread did.

                                        I did not realize that ending gay discrimination would:
                                        A.) Make you gay.
                                        B.) Make you forget what ending discrimination actually means.

                                        This is like saying ending discrimination against blacks would make me black..

I support this effect, and a controversial post in a thread like this would help that to happen.
                                        You make an excellent point. I understand where you'd saying something to get a point across. Don't get me wrong, I'm not ignoring what people are saying, it's just that some people really sound like idiots and I had to vent in my point. I do hope that neutral observers did notice this thread, it's just a shame the way that some people discuss it on here.

                                                    Thanks for the support to everyone who's standing up for the rights with me. In fact, Quigly and a few others, I'm 100% straight. I gotta girlfriend who I love very much. I can still support a movement. Around 700 kids at my school did this yesterday.

                                                    I'm waiting for my medicine atm, but when I'm done I'll post the passage our badges state.

                                                        hi
                                                        anyway our cards/badges/whatever said this:

                                                        Please understand my reasons for not speaking today. I am participating
                                                        in the Day of Silence (DOS), a national youth movement bringing
                                                        attention to the silence faced by lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender
                                                        people and their allies. My deliberate silence echoes that silence, which
                                                        is caused by anti-LGBT bullying, name-calling and harassment.
                                                        I believe that ending the silence is the fi rst step toward build-
                                                        ing awareness and making a commitment to address these
                                                        injustices. Think about the voices you are not hearing today.
