366. Makes me SICK.
Over 1200 gays are the victims of HATE CRIMES...every year. They are the victims of these crimes BECAUSE they are gay. You walk out of your house in the morning...anyone...and there is a certain percentage of chance you will be killed or hurt. That percentage jumps WAY up if you are gay or lesbian. No, you are not my ally if you do not support hate crime legislation and I do not think you are progressive and you are not my friend. Sorry. That's life.

...but hey...we would be happy to trade that So Very Specialness that you're so jealous and resentful of. We can Be Free of Horrid Crime and YOU can be beaten to death for what you are...and you can then be So Very Special. OK? That's what really gripes my posterior end. Do you even think about what you are saying and thinking? The Very Specialness is because we are treated as Less Than Human...we are beaten and raped and killed at a MUCH higher rate than other people. How Special. So, if you don't want the Hate Crime Legislation make THAT go away because this is a Very Specialness we would love to trade out with YOU.
