Never Again.

Mon Aug 3, 2009, 6:26 PM
  • Mood: On Strike
  • Listening to: Symphonie- Silbermond
  • Reading: The Jerusalem Post
On August 1, 13 people at a LGBT youth meeting in Tel Aviv were shot by a masked gunman. Of those 13, 2 died- a 26 year old counselor and a 17 year old young woman. Nir, the counselor, was beloved of many of the members meeting at the club, and Liz was just a young woman meeting with her friends. They were killed because of who they loved, who they helped, and who they befriended. Liz was straight. The gunman did not know that. He entered the room and opened fire. What does that say about our world? What does that say about us? Should we sit around and do nothing? I say NO! There are wounded young people in the hospital right now whose parents will not visit them, because they were outed as gay. Can we allow this sort of treatment to continue? Allow thinking that divides families and kills innocents? I think NOT. Never again must this happen. Tell your family, tell your friends. Think before you judge. Think. Consider yourself in their shoes.
End the silence that stifles our children and suffocates the victims. Speak out- say this is not acceptable. Become angry, become sad, become active.
I'm not going to let this pass- people should know, people should think, and people should act. Reach out.

Accept.

If you don't like my art, sorry.
If you don't like anime/manga, (and/or refer to it as "those freaky, bug eyed cartoons," or "pokemon people"), then the sock puppets await you in a deep, dark alley. WAHAHAHAHA!
:iconorchestra-nerd:
It's nice you're on here. I was sad because I thought I wouldn't be able to talk to you again. *Tear* But, anyways, how are you? Hope your parents aren't causing any major problems for you.

Hey, I was just checking out your profile on QA when I saw the link to your DA. Just posting to say "hi". You're writing is beautiful. Keep it up!

If you're one of those wacky things called a procrastionator, post this in your sig.

WAIT. Don't post it. You would be doing it immediately, wouldn't you, and that's not characteristic of a procrastinator. Oh dear!

I guess you'll have to wait awhile
