Re: ACTION ALERT: DAY of SILENCE, Anti-LGBT Bullying Awareness Day, Tomorrow 4-20

shame on the LGBT alliances that
are in part responsible for this tragedy!

The National Day of Silence is a day of action in which students
across the country vow to take a form of silence to call attention
to the silencing effect of anti-LGBT bullying and harassment in
schools.

why does it bother you than others are sticking up for the rights of
gays?

Let's have a "I Blow My Nose At
You LGBT Alliance" Day!

as you know ... I don't support giving ANY minority group special
rights ... but I will stand up for equal rights
