So, tomorrow is April 26, 2006, also known as the Day of Silence. What the Day of Silence is (from their official website) is:
QUOTE Now in its tenth year, the Day of Silence, a project of GLSEN® or the Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network in collaboration with the United States Student Association (USSA), is a student-led day of action where those who support making anti-LGBT bullying and harassment unacceptable in schools participate in events to recognize and protest the discrimination and harassment—in effect, the silencing—experienced by lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) students and their allies. My uni's GSA, of which I'm on the executive board for, is participating in the day of silence for the first time, so I was reading up about it. In my reading, I found what's called to be the Day of Truth, schedualed for April 27, 2006. Here's a quote from their site: QUOTE The Day of Truth was established to counter the promotion of the homosexual agenda and express an opposing viewpoint from a Christian perspective. In the past, students who have attempted to speak against the promotion of the homosexual agenda have been censored or, in some cases, punished for their beliefs. It is important that students stand up for their First Amendment right to hear and speak the Truth about human sexuality in order to protect that freedom for future generations. The Day of Truth provides an opportunity to publicly exercise our free speech rights. Interesting, ne? So, I leave you fellow Matazonians with Day of Silence vs. Day of Truth (and maybe we won't turn this into a 'bash the rightwings' type thread) Discuss how you'd like, though I am interested in also hearing which you think is more effective and why. -------------------- The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love, and be loved in return -Moulin Rouge
"Religion is a finger pointing ot the moon, but some people confuse the finger with the moon." Truth is subjectivity - Kierkegaard "I don't know anything; I never knew anything, but now I know I don't know" "The important thing isn't to know Jesus, Mohamed or Buddah, but to know what they know" |

QUOTE (Saratina @ Apr 28 2006, 12:10 AM)  It's difficult and frustrating to participate in this sort of debate (Christians vs. homosexuals) when you belong to both sides. That is all. One of my best friends is both Catholic and gay. Yeah, it's not a fun situation sometimes. -------------------- The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love, and be loved in return -Moulin Rouge
