Samantha Ronson tweeted this article awhile back but I just now found that tweet. I love that whole family.
Charlotte even had Equality buttons in her fashion show goodie bag.
Anyway....this is a sad story. Methinks the gay-straight alliances in other schools and maybe even colleges should reach out to the gay youth in this town.
Think I'll suggesst it to the few peeps I know, like my church and group or something.

Love is love. I don't care what the orientation is so long as it's a genuine and consensual relationship.
ReplyDeleteBRING ON THE CARING! LETS MAKE THIS WORLD MORE LIKE EQUESTRIA!
*Nervous giggle* I've had these two songs stuck in my head, I was singing the second one at work today :x

I love Dashie, Rarity, Pinkie and Fluttershy :D
Oh my goodness, you did hit the nail right on the head! (Or nipple, as 'twere) I have yet to master the hooping trick of hooping the hoop from my waist up to my neck OR chest-hooping, simply because of my feminine over-endowment D: Stupid tits, first they take my long-distance running, then they inhibit my hooping! Oh well, when I'm toned again I'll be the most eye-catching flyer in the history of amateur acrobalance! :3
(Miles took down the video he made of my semi-toned acro, thank gods! It was the "Red Man" routine, you get an AMAZING view of my cleavage when I'm hanging upside-down!)
I'll share a little secret with you: The tricks pulled off in a show are NOT the performer's cutting-edge still-learning envelope-pushing tricks. They are all well-rehearsed routines that have MONTHS of solid practise put into them. Watch the 'The Fire Within' documentaty series by Cirque du Soleil if you want to see what I mean. They spend months rehearsing then practise during the day and perform every night for MONTHS on end. It makes Vicktor key's flawless juggling in Dralion even MORE mind-blowing when you put it in that context! These aren't even his best tricks!

Trapeze *Dreamy sighs* I wish I had the upper-body strength for that! Silks are what I long for. Aerial silks. Mygods that would be awesome!
When I started writing that letter I used the old essay-writing trick of making bullet point/brsinstorm of what I wanted to say. I then went back and edited, and edited a lot of the body-loathing out for my friend. (Kinda shameful to admit you have to cover all the mirrors in your house!)
I haven't sent it yet. I still don't have the balls! I'm considering just walking away from the whole thing, but she kinda needs to hear some of it in case she says something like that to someone who is still in total thrall tot heir disease. Thoughtless shit like that could get someone killed!
Total gleeful geek squirmings going on over here! Seven? You really think she would? *Meeps*
So much love to you. You and your boobs, but mostly to you :p
*Huggles*
It really upsets me that these people call themselves Christians and yet they feel ok--justified, even--in tormenting others like that. I MEAN HELLO Christ was like the first posterchild for tolerance and acceptance and loving your neighbour and stuff. I don't see how anyone can say they're doing things in his name when everything they say and do is so full of hate. And then the good, decent Christians get a bad reputation because of the psychos.
ReplyDeleteAt least something is being done in that school, I suppose. Hopefully the tragedy is enough to wake some people up!
I hope you're having a good week, miss. <3
