I suggest that we found an organization called BRAAD. That would be pronounced 'brad' and would stand for 'Bigot and Redneck Alliance Against Defamation.' We will tell the world that we are out of the closet, we are tired of being ridiculed and hiding from who we truly are. Our chant will be, "We're here, we're a$$holes, GET USED TO IT." We'll demand that people stop using negative stereotypes. When people who don't like bigots and rednecks meet, we'll drown them out and interrupt their meetings by throwing hog-jowls and chitlens and muscle shirts all over the place. We'll force the APA to make it an unethical practice to try to help a bigot or redneck be tolerant. We can put out press releases, hold rallies (with lots of Bar-B-Que), and lobby congressmen with a 'Bud' in one hand and a sweet thing in short denim shorts hanging off of the other. We'll convince people we are born this way or beat them to a pulp. Either way we'll change the culture.
Oh, yeah. We also have to get a curriculum together that tells our story in a comprehensive manner from K-12th grade. We can also help universities put together speech codes.
Think anyone would catch on?
After all, why is one person's right to be homosexual more important than another person's right to be a bigot?
Shalom.
Shalom.
