Shut the Hell Up!

"Laughing at jokes about race isn't racism, and laughing at jokes about sexuality isn't homophobia. Racism is denying someone a job because of their skin color. Racism is hurting someone because of their skin color. Homophobia is attacking gay couples on the street. Homophobia is denying homosexuals civil rights.

Come down off your high horse. Everybody gets offended by things, but stop trying to be the "voice of the voiceless" and relax. Flying off the handle about this stuff is a step backward, not forward."

A genius on a message board said this in a topic about gays being offended at using flamboyantly dressed pictures to represent them.
