I went to the kiss-in event and there were not more than 10 couples. Me thinking “What s the point?” I m tired to go to events and protests were the turn out is almost invisible. Many gay people who complain do nothing apart from moaning here. I probably never go to another event or protest!!!!
@poeticlicense It’s included in this apparently. Though they didn’t change the acronym IDAHO, and no-one is mentioning it. Wikipedia says that it concentrated on Transphobia in 2009.
Well said Lee (or is it Gav?). Our apathy isn’t healthy for our rights. I know some think we don’t have anything left to protest against, but aside from that being very debatable, if we sit quietly on the side-lines, the homophobes and homophobic religious groups are not sitting by as well, they’ll be pushing for legislation and actions against LGBT people and things will slip back to a bad place for us. We can’t afford apathy.

Maybe us in the LBGT community should be doing more to fight for our rights and equality before asking others.
The number of gay people murdered or attacked is shameful – I don’t see us on the street protesting and demanding something be done.

And then you’ll be just like the people you complain about.
