See this picture? See the number of people out there on my street?

| Manifestation |
Well, they are protesting. They are making a big ruckus, and a LOT of noise.
Why?
They are protesting against gay marriage and adoption.

What is the matter with people?! Where is the world going?
If you are gay, you're born like that and you should have the same rights as everyone else! How can these people try to deny gay people the right to have a child, or to get married? Any of those people out there, protesting against justice and human rights, could have been gay, or even their children. Then how would they have felt?
Even someone I respect, a very nice, correct and polite person, admitted to wanting to go out there and protest as well. People can be so disapointing!
Going to bed disappointed in humanity tonight :(
Il y a tellement de choses magnifiques, merveilleuses, fantastiques dans le monde, donc ma question est... pourquoi ça?
Vous voyez cette photo? Le nombre de gens dans ma rue?
Et bien, ils protestent. Et ils font BEAUCOUP de bruit.
Pourquoi?
Ils protestent contre le mariage homosexuel et leur droit d'adopter.

C'est quoi leur problème?! Où va le monde?
Si tu est homosexuel, tu est né comme ça et tu devrais avoir les mêmes droits que les autres! Comment accepter le fait que tu ne peux pas te marier, ou adopter un enfant...? N'importe-qui dans cette manifestation contre la justice et les droits humains aurait pu être né homosexuel, ou même leurs enfants.
Même quelqu'un que je respecte, quelqu'un de très sympa, correct, et poli a exprimé l'envie d'aller protester. Les gens peuvent être si décevants!
Je vais me coucher déçue en l'homme ce soir :(
Yeah! F**k all those anti gay people!!! D:<
ReplyDeleteIt's incredible how many there are! :O
DeleteI read that the protests got violent. So it's probably good that you didn't fling poop at them, as I suggested to your mom. Even though I would really have wanted to!
ReplyDeleteThat would have been extremely amusing. Too bad cops were right underneath.
DeleteLemon Gloria and Veggie Pol.
DeleteI bet half the cops are gay too...they probably would have been happy!
That's just horrible! I mean, what if somebody told you that you're not allowed to do what you loved just because you're not British or something? It's like expressing who you are I don't get how anyone could try to take away a part of you. >.<
ReplyDeleteHi Eileen, it's nice to hear from you, I'm thrilled you stopped by, because I love your blog.
DeleteAnd yes, it's pure cruelty!!!
As Martin Luther King said, the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice. Knowing that this kind of hate and bigotry exists is depressing, but I always take comfort in the fact that the views the protesters hold are increasingly in the minority.
ReplyDeleteIt's good to think on the positive side :)
DeleteHi C, I'm just catching up on the blog. The moving process has been very hectic--as you will soon find out. Z and I like the condo but we still have way too much stuff. I make a storage unit run every day which is good for the muscles, but exhausting. Thanks for the positive thoughts about gay marriage and adoption. For my two cents worth, marriage is overrated, not a very good institution. Still if folks want to get married they should be able to. Also I don't think I was born a lesbian, instead I chose it. So maybe I was born bi-sexual (who knows), but I know it was a conscious decision to make my life with a woman not a man. Aunt Margi
ReplyDeleteI find that people who hate are usually uneducated. They miss out on knowing some very fine, and fun people. Lucky to know tolerance.
