Uh... Everyone needs to see these videos: (via Aliza and Billy!) OK, so this first one from the TV show "What Would You Do" (which has changed a bit since I first saw it in the 90's) where gay parents and their children are refused a meal at a Brooklyn restaurant, and we watch as Society completely fails Us. "Fuck that, I'm hungry!" - Society. Whatever. How do we feel about this show, Community? I have mixed feelings.
Thank you to the people who said something? I think? I don't know. This show kind of lauds people who do kind of duh things. "Some would say that makes you a hero." Really? Well some people need to go to Definitions School. Anyhow. Let's all watch this other video of a gay proposal. It'll be worth it, Readers. I promise!

I totally agree with you on the fact that yeah, people should do this anyway. I think the point of this was to show that people don't always do the duh thing. A few people might, but most will just ignore it and move on. So in that sense, I really do applaud the people that spoke up. They had the heart to do something when almost everyone else just sat there. I really do wish that everyone would speak up about any form of intolerance. It's depressing to see that most people don't. Also, it might be a duh thing to those of us in the Community because speaking out against intolerance is something we do on a daily basis whereas others who aren't as involved might not have the same immediate response that we do. So, I do say thank you to them. I hope they are an example to everyone else to do the right thing.
Both videos made me cry. I think they're both wonderful.
