We would like to know who really believes in gay rights on LiveJournal. There is no bribe of a miracle or anything like that. If you truly believe in gay rights, then repost this and title the post as "Gay Rights". If you don't believe in gay rights, then just ignore this. Thanks.
I would like to add my own comment that I chose to post this here, but don't believe that not posting it is some tacit admission of gay hatred. Since it's a meme, I don't know who started it, or who the 'we' is referring to. Or if/how statistics can be gathered on LiveJournal.
But as two of my closest friends are gay (as well as many of my good friends), I feel very politically motivated about gay rights. I like to think that I'd be this motivated even without that added incentive because watching a smug group-in-power gleefully hate-monger and spend all their energy on denying a group of people--any people--their human rights is something I find pretty fucking sickening.
As Jon Stewart so eloquently put it when he decimated Bill Bennett, it's a debate about whether you think gay people are part of the human condition, or just a random fetish.
