The guy calling me homophobic really just pushed me to the extreme of being done with people being allowed to push certain beliefs or what have you while I cannot push mine, while my freedom of speech is limited. I think that's a big undertone in the entire thing.

I just find it insulting that someone would call me homophobic, given that I have never spoken out publicly against homosexuality, I have never harassed a gay individual, I have made it abundantly clear to all who know me I am in no way against gay people...I simply don't support this Day of Silence ... smh

The problem is that the members of this "community" take to exhibiting the exact same behavior that they are supposedly seeking to end - harassment, berating heterosexuals, lacking what I'd call common courtesy. I'm not saying all homosexual individuals do this, far from it; but a large percentage DO. Those individuals expect everyone to put a filter over their mouths to appease THEIR position, such as the individual who first called me homophobic (which I have been called for several times since at school this latter part of the week!). I'm not going to gag myself to appease somebody of that disposition, someone who so hypocritically fights for "the end of harassment" while harassing others to get to that point.... .
