I love rainbows, but I hope that´s not the beginning of a pro-gay-TL....
and if it is? what's wrong with a pro-equality TL?

It is absolutely going to stay pro-gay though, and this is out way of vocalizing this. The reason why gay pride is the first social issue that made us funk up our banner, is that gay pride is the single social issue with the least amount of internal disagreement. Gays not being treated equally, everywhere, isn't really an anachronism, because there's no historical period where this inequality feels "correct", but it is still one of the most important issues of our time and age, and the internet is crucial for the enlightenment of people through the world. | ||

I don't take them on a person to person basis, just if i meet someone, even if they are a giant douche, but they are one of the blacks, i love 'em... see 'cause I can only see that they are a the black and not the individual. totally not rascist. that's like anti rascist, because I notice the color of their skin so it affects how I view them, but positively. That's what equality is all about, lumping people together into groups, and then deciding your opinion of them based on what group they are instead of seeing the individual and not classifying them based on factors of ethnicity, age, sexual orientation, etc. Woah! Learn to laugh friend~  | ||

Guess I haven't been paying attention hard enough, haven't caught any "burn all non-heterosexual white males" posts around anywhere. Anyway, it's a nice thing that TL is supporting a good cause. Just confuses the shit out of me how someone can hate a person for their sexual orientation, skin color or whatever. | ||

don't worry i don't take anything i read on the interwebz seriously. you haven't had a serious drunken debate with someone until you have heard them say something completely rascist, then say but i love those people, some of my best friends, who probably don't exist and certainly aren't with me here, are of them. right? | ||

Your internet has to be pretty freaking small if you can't visit any site that doesn't discriminate people. | ||
