I don't think that any power on earth could do that:-)
Somehow I expect that GLSEN just gave students from more than 1,265 middle schools, high schools... another reason to beat up the poor gay kid.
"All this was inspired by the principle - which is quite true in itself - that in the big lie there is always a certain force of credibility; because the broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods. It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously. Even though the facts which prove this to be so may be brought clearly to their minds, they will still doubt and waver and will continue to think that there may be some other explanation. For the grossly impudent lie always leaves traces behind it, even after it has been nailed down, a fact which is known to all expert liars in this world and to all who conspire together in the art of lying. These people know only too well how to use falsehood for the basest purposes.
..and do what about it..
Those people should include teachers, counselors and administrators that have "denied you their support in the past, or who've expressed bias against (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered) people.
once again..and do what about it..commit a "hate crime" against them?
It is also suggested that the list include other children, school board members, people in the community and relatives "who have shown intolerance" of homosexuality.
RELATIVES???
The organizing manual notes that "people who oppose your issue are known as, you guessed it, your opponents."
I think that is what they hope for. GLSEN is looking for more Mathew Shepard's to wave around as examples.
However, if you are a gay guy and leave a bar with a couple of guys for what is supposed to be a sexual encounter and you get murdered, you are a victim.
It seems that if they really wanted to make a difference, they should be ending the silence about the consequences of leaving bars and having sex with people you don't know.
That's the sad thing. Shepard is their best example of hate-crimes against gays, but those same kind of crimes happen every day to all kinds of people. Being in a bar alone late at night is not the safest place, and leaving with strangers you don't know is really asking for it.
Choice 4 Truth has been organizing a counter-event to GLSEN's "Day of Silence" - click the image or link below to find out more.
TRUTH WITHOUT INTERRUPTION DAY-- APRIL 10 - "A Welcome and Measured Response to the "Day of Silence" Project"
"On April 10, homosexual activists and their supporters will hold "Day of Silence" events on high school and college campuses throughout the country, sponsored by GLSEN, the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network.(For more details, see www.dayofsilence.org.) It will be a silent vigil and the usual victimhood and "gay" rights claims. Participants will hand out material promoting homosexuality, bisexuality and cross-dressing.
How would you like to hold a counter-event the same day? We are calling it the Truth Without Interruption Day! Finally - a chance to get a word in edgewise!
If you'd like to organize one at your school, see below. You'll find links to: Talking Points (feel free to print this off and hand out); Tips for Organizing a TWID event; and a sample news release.
A list of the high schools that have registered with GLSEN to hold DOS events is at the end. If your school does not appear, it doesn't necessarily mean they aren't having a pro-homosexual Day of Silence event. Conversely, if it is listed, the administration may not have been told about it yet, or may claim no knowledge. The best advice is to check with your school newspaper and ask around - the word on the street is your best informant.
It's pretty simple - you just need people and some motivation! Godspeed to all you truth-tellers!
