Vow of silence?
WARNING: The following post *might* offend people who have, uh, touchy views. I am not meaning to offend anyone, but as a human being, I DO have a right to express my opinion.

---

So tomorrow is apparently some day to be silent in honor of...or support of...gay people.

Huh.

I've been asked to do this, but I'm not. Why? Because. I need to talk to function, especially in my classes - IE, German.

But also - why should I? Really, what good can come out of being silent? People will wonder just why the hell you're not speaking, and you can't tell them why because, you know, you can't speak.

The vast majority of people don't know about this day, and I didn't either until last year, and even then, I didn't care.

And again - I really don't want to.

Here are my views, and this applies to MANY things:

"Fine, be (blank). Just don't make me do things or shove it down my throat."

That blank encompasses a LOT of things. Be religious, be gay, be artistic, be smart, be atheltic, be whatever the hell you want. But don't force your views on me, and don't ask me to do something I don't want to do.

...
I'm contradicting myself a bit here...

You know what? In the end, I don't give a damn who or what you are. If we just all shut up and not force others to do these things, then we probably wouldn't have all these fights and arguments. I'm not saying that these things can be obtained - I guess really, they can't, unless this was a perfect world.

But it's not. And we still all have the hate and the fights and the unacceptance of any and everybody.

So a vow of silence? I don't think so. Heterosexual, bisexual, homosexual - I don't care. I don't give a damn. I'm not racist.

Being silent won't help.
