Day of Silent Protest for GLBT Issues...(In memory of Lawrence King)

So today was the day of silence and i have mixed feelings about it...
I participated of course because one of the things closest to my heart is that GLBT (Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender) teens get the same treatment as anybody else.
It was so incredibly irritating to go around at school and all anybody ever noticed was wether i was talking or not. And kids were ripping down the posters promoting the day of silence....as if that will change anything or have any affect on anybody then piss us off....
but i can't let them have that. That's just what they wanted...
I just feel like there has to be a more effective and/or sufficiant way of getting out there and fighting for GLBT issues....
Today was discouraging for me....I really wish people would just grow up and understand that the purpose for today was not to see how long we could go without talking.... the purpose was to silently and nonviolently express ourr feelings about our GLBT friends and family....
This probably doesn't make any sense but i just feel so frustrated and i just needed to put this down...nobody will read this anyhow...but at least i got it out...*sighs* next year i'm going to do something different....people/things need to change...i'm gonna figure out how to fight for what i believe in...i can't let this get me.... :/ :/ :/ :/ :/ woo...
