I haven't seen this meme or chainletter or whatever it is, but it does really bug me that people feel the need to shout about the whole thing. As long as people make a big deal about being different they will be seen as different. Its not something that should be shoved in people's faces, its something that should just *be*.
I feel kinda strongly about this cos I used to be in the LGBT society at uni and the way they shout about the whole gay rights thing really bugs me. Also they tend to ignore the confused people who join their society because they are scared and want someone to understand.
Plus LGBT societies claim not to stand for discrimination, yet I have seen plenty of evidence of them discriminating against other people. It's just no one is allowed to discriminate against them. I was once told that I could 'snap out of depression if I really wanted to', and that seems pretty fucking discriminatory against people with mental problems. No one expects them to 'snap out of' being gay. Grrrr.....angry now....
