An essay about ignorance and intolerance

I don't have to, but if I want a chance at being officer in the GSA (Gay/Straight Alliance), I should write one. It will explain that it hurts people and reflects what others think of you.
Any ideas for it? Also if you have an idea of what we can discuss on upcoming Fridays, I'd love to hear!  smile

Re: An essay about ignorance and intolerance

With the amount of religious fanatics, homophobes, and republicans at my school it isn't going to have the GSA anytime soon.

Seriously.
Their the type of people that look at a straight girl and say "She's probably not into me"
When they see a gay guy "OH GOSH HE WANTS ME"


I'm glad to think that the community will always be kind and helpful, the language will always be a fun and easy way to be introduced into programming, the motto will always be: Imagine, Program, Share - Nomolos

Lolno.

She is writing a report about how homophobic people are ignorant and intolerant, in full support of the LGBT community.

I so wanted to explain how there is research showing people who watch FOX know less about current events then viewers of the Daily Show.

But yeah let's stop.

WHY ANTI-GAY?

Tolerance man. Just because it goes against personal beliefs or something doesn't mean there's not room for them too.

i mean no offense to the non religious but i am very biblical and believe that being gay is a sin

Re: An essay about ignorance and intolerance

Yeah, but just because it's against your religion (it is against mine too), doesn't mean other people can't have their own beliefs and choose to do what they wish
People say it's against the Bible, but are you going to stop the Atheists from getting married now?
K, now I feel like we're sort of ruining imnotbob's topic
Sorry imnotbob

WHILE IT'S NOT THE ENTIRE PURPOSE OF THE THREAD, IT'S QUICKLY LEADING TO LGBT DISCUSSION.
BRING IN THE MODS.

Re: An essay about ignorance and intolerance

This topic doesn't fit in any of our forums.  Saying "I'm thinking about writing an essay about ..." is not an acceptable excuse to talk about anything you like.   I'm sorry, but we tried that approach already with the old Miscellaneous forum and it proved to be too problematic.
