I get so annoyed when my nephew says "you're so gay". ERRRR drove me crazy. I know he didn't mean anything by it but it is so wrong to use that as a saying. I think that these post have helped.

Out of my entire class of 25, only one person knew about this. For all those naysayers out there who argue against gay rights and change, I point out the good change brings. If there was no change, we'd still have slaves. Women wouldn't be able to vote, work outside the home, or do anywhere near the things we can do today.
