Been Silent Long Enough

A few days ago, I stumbled upon something really stupid.

A few people decided that Wednesday was the day they would not speak to anyone as a form or protest against the discrimination against homosexuals. The idea was to symbolize the number of voices not heard if the discrimination continues.

Who the hell thought this up?!

First off, I know from experience, great experience, that if you do not talk about what is troubling you, the problem will never be solved! No one would be aware of the problem at hand if you do not make them aware of it!

Secondly, don't you think that this little "protest" is playing into the homophobics' little hands? I mean, some of them want us dead and rotting in Hell where we belong! Being silent is just a compromise. They don't want to deal with us, they don't want to acknowledge we exist. If we do not speak, then we do not exist to them, and that makes them even happier because they do not have to deal with us verbally or hear us complain about their narrow minds.

But then again, what do I know? I don't vote, am not a registered voter, and have no right to complain as such.
