If I am correct, Day of Silence is tomorrow. I didn’t really plan on it and didn’t really even realize it was tomorrow till last night, so I don’t think I will be partaking in it. But this is what I have to say on the whole matter.
It is often said that Day of Silence is about Gay Rights. Lets take this back just a bit. Gay Rights. Gay rights would imply that it is only the movement for gay gentleman to have rights. Not saying they shouldn’t, but I think we all know that this is more than just gay men. This is not a rights movement purely for fetish’s and sex and beards everywhere. This isn’t just about lust, or love, or a piece of paper with your name on it.
This is about Gay, Bisexual, Lesbian, Pansexual, Asexual, Polysexual, Demisexual, Genderqueer, Agender, Bigender, and Transgender and everything-else-in-between rights. This is about not being afraid to be who you know you are, who you didn’t choose to be but who you’ve accepted to become. To be that person that can take a step forward when everyone wants to take one back. To be able to talk about the safety of more than just one kind of sex in one position in school. To be able to be in a locker room without the worry of someone catching you looking the wrong way for a second. To be able to raise your hand to tell the teacher your name and not have this small panic attack in the back of your head over whether or not they will call you out on it. To not have to worry about saying something and not being able to get a paycheck for it. To not have to stand around for ten minutes wondering which bathroom you should use, which store will let you in a fitting room, and which state you can get away with being you in.
This is about safety in sex, mental, and physical health. This is about freedom. This is America and this is a demand for not Gay Rights, but Human Rights. We cannot stay silent, we cannot stop “whining”, and we WILL NOT step down. We have always been here, always will be here, and we are here now. You don’t have to love us, but you need to respect us.
Thank you.
this sanctity of marriage stuff?
how is there any kind of sanctity if it’s only okay to be with someone of the opposite gender regardless of feelings?
what the fuck are they protecting?
i’m not entirely sure how to put this, so i guess i’m going to just throw this out there.
it has become increasingly clear to me that some of the classes i’m taking this semester (they’re primarily all around classes i need to take in order to graduate)that there are some really, just, i don’t want to say ignorant because that’s kind of an excuse for their behavior, but, just, people that are uneducated people in my classes i guess is a way i could put it.
and nothing has been said to me straight up or anything, but i’ve just overheard things here and there and i’ve seen things people have posted on facebook, not in my newsfeed, but in my friends. i guess i really shouldn’t be too shocked by some of it, i mean, i do live in a fairly conservative, right-wing republican, hard-core religious area. i think i’ve spent the majority of my highschool career either completely checked out or surrounded by people are just, what i’ve recently come to realize, incredibly open-minded and surprisingly mature for their age about just gay rights in general. and even with them i’ve met some opposition with the whole being trans thing, but the more open i was about it, and the more upfront i made things, the more respect i got for it, so that’s just how i’ve been trying to deal with it.
but these people. i just. i don’t know. i feel like i’m at a completely different school this semester and i’m just shocked and appalled and disgusted to say i attended this school. i’ve never had school spirit, but i’ve never been straight up disgusted with my school either.
basically this is what i have to say to those people:
reasons i love my band:
we almost cover the entire spectrum.
bisexual male bassist.
lesbian female guitarist and singer.
heterosexual transman drummer.
the only thing we’re missing is a straight person all up in there. in my opinion at least. we’ve had straight members, but they just don’t give a fuck about the music or us and always eventually get cut because they never put in the same amount of work as the rest of us and we DO actually put a lot of time and effort into everything.
