Great link, thanks.

I'm guessing so, yeah. Rad.

I am kind of confused why it's "please don't divorce"?

[rm.livejournal.com]

"Please don't divorce us" or "please don't divorce my friends" or "please don't divorce my moms"

The Prop 8 peopel are trying to get all teh gay marriages in California declared invalid.

[thornsilver]

That's just....

There seems to be a lot of people in California who have nothing better to do than pass judgement on other people.

Seems to be a lot of people everywhere...

Well I'm a sap today; that pretty much just made me break down crying...

This makes me weep... I have never, ever understood the visceral hatred that drives some people to pursue the business of others. It conjures up the worst excesses of the Middle Ages. German tribes hanging homosexual men from trees, on the same limb of the tree reserved for cowards. The relentless pursuit of any sort of difference. I see this garbage, I hate it, and so I have to think of something to keep me going:
I teach high school, and at last year's talent show, a young man (who happens to be gay) stepped onto the stage in front of the entire school to demonstrate his prowess in ballet. I was sitting amidst some of the school's rougher diamonds, ready to intervene if things got foolish. Far from it.

Tough guy #1: He's doing fucking ballet?
Tough guy #2: Fucking ballet, man.
Tough guy #1: That takes fucking balls, man.
(reflective pause)
Tough guy #2: Dude is fucking good!

Stuff like that keeps me going in this episodically stupid world.

Wow, that gives me hope for this nation.

[fortunesfoole.livejournal.com]

I hope so. Mind you, the nation is Canada. ;)

*sighs* That makes me sniffly too. Good boys. And good for him for having the courage to get up there and dance in the first place.

[fortunesfoole.livejournal.com]

A-bloody-men. Wish there was more of it, but I'll take what I can get.

The one of the Korea/Vietnam vets made me bawl.

[aynatonal.livejournal.com]

Yep, that's the one that did me in as well.

This is a great campaign...I need to post it in my LJ to spread the word...

[schmidtybooger.livejournal.com]

That just made me get a little teary.

[antelope-writes.livejournal.com]

Thanks for sharing that.

Just appalling that everybody there even felt they had to do that, but--so much love there. I hope folks get the message.

[stardragonca.livejournal.com]

I am a blubber-box.

[muggy-wump.livejournal.com]

N'awwwww.

A timely antithesis to some rampant idiocy going around in certain quarters. My eye was particularly caught by the wonderful old codgers standing by the bust of Harvey Milk, but other than the "oh, two people of the same sex" the photos in question are so *ordinary*. I hope that one goes viral.

Spreading this.
