Why not just say no at the appropriate time and leave it at a personal level instead of wearing something publicly that one knows will cause controversy?

Controversy is not always bad. Why would YOU attempt to intimate that it is?

[Andyman]

Maybe because you can influence more people if there is some display of your beliefs? Kinda like advertising. You can rely on word of mouth, but a billboard will touch a lot more people.

If all you hear from the people you deal with is “have sex, have sex” finding that there are others who don’t may influence you.

"Be a good little sheep and don't offend anyone..."

Sorry, but that kind of attitude sucks.

Then they don't get the look at me I'm special attention.

The point is that there is no reason for this to be controversial. It’s just a stupid ring! Why she wants to wear it is nobodys business.

Okay, why should people that get married wear a wedding ring? Just tell people your married if they ask.
Why wear a Cross if you are a Christian. Why wear a Star of David of you are a Jew? And on and on.....

I think she’s trying to communicate a concept. One can do that silently, but one can’t do it imperceptibly.

Gays can wear rainbow this and that. Have parades with no inhibitions. Have gay clubs at schools. Or have gay awareness days. All being the more provocative the better.

Meanwhile something very unassuming stirs controversy.

In today's world I think she demonstrates courage by wearing such a ring and standing up for what's right. The ring serves as a reminder to her and others of her pledge. Since honor is no longer tolerated, many do not want to be reminded that there is such a thing.

Why didn't you just read the article and leave it at a personal level instead of posting a comment publicly that one knows will cause controversy?

It’s only a controversy to fools.

[Skooz]

For crying out loud.
