If you read my blog, please watch this. It's an important PSA from Ellen DeGeneres about teenage bullying, gay teens and (gay) teen suicide. Please repost this and help spread it!
This is just baffling. I thought we've become more accepting with our generation. It's sad to know that these kids couldn't find acceptance where they needed it most. Being gay shouldn't even be a big deal. It shouldn't be a deal period. I hope one day soon this will all be old news and change for the best, kids shouldn't have to go through this, no one should.
Thanks Angela and Ellen for taking the time to let others know. I grew up in a country where it was illegal for me to live with another man. (We all knew where the backdoors were at the gay club to “escape”, because the cops used to raid the clubs and arrest everybody)
ReplyDeleteNow our laws have changed so much we can get married, legally! Attitudes are changing, sadly, they did not happen fast enough for these young people.
Yeah that's very true. I live in California, and when the vote for prop 8 was going around, I was so sure my state would allow gay marriage, we have hollywood for crikes sake! But then gay marriage didn't pass, and I was so shocked and disappointed. I don't get how anyone could think gays shouldn't get equal rights. Why shouldn't they?? And now I'm so glad that there is equal marriage :D I hope the kids of this generation and those to come will find acceptance and won't have to end up this way.. It's so sad :(
ReplyDeleteYes, it is indeed very, very sad. :/ It pisses me off as well. I really hope people can start thinking about how gays are actually very strong because of all this shit they have to go through.

Gee golly :D third one! I think.. or second. Definitely at least second ahah XD Thanks Claire :D
ReplyDeleteThat's awfully sad.. thanks for sharing this.. there are large deal of acceptance about gay in our country.. maybe I feel that way because there are some bullies in schools where I grow up, but bullies are not that mean to the extent that gays or those who are bullied could think about suicidal attempts..
ReplyDeleteI hope i could share this now, but I'm busy out of town,. try to share this next time..

ReplyDeleteAnd thanks :D
:D ... Pan meaning all ... pretty much means I can love anyone... male,female, mtf trans, ftm trans, intersexed, androgynous ... Basically I love the person and not the body or type of body. Most times I just say Bi because it requires less explanation but I think The Idea behind Pansexuality is beautiful. Lots of Love and Light Doll.... And thank you again <3 <3 <3
