Another post because I'm procrastinating like crazy.
So, anyone else heard about
what happened at the banned gay pride parade in Moscow the other day? Gah. Stuff like this just makes me so angry at humanity. It never ceases to amaze me how much energy people put into hate. It makes me wanna go march right alongside those activists in Moscow, but then I'd probably get beaten up and arrested too, so... probably a good thing I'm not in Russia right now.
Homophobia makes me so sad. *sigh* People suck.
On a side note, that incident in Moscow has actually convinced me that Tatu is not fakegay but possibly reallygay. I mean, who would voluntarily
pretend to be gay and go march in a tiny protest (not even a real parade, because it was banned), with just about everyone else turning up to insult you, throw eggs at you and beat you up while the police look on? Granted, Tatu didn't get assaulted like some of the others did, but still... it was an ugly situation, and not one that people would voluntarily put themselves in, I think. And even if they're not really gay, they still get points for promoting The Gay Cause.
Anyway, why should we hold it against them for being fake lesbians, when there are plenty of fake straight people out there?? (I had to bold that, because I think that may have been the most profound thing I've said all week. :p)
In other news, I've finished watching all the episodes of Voyager I've downloaded -- up till the end of Season 3. I'm trying to download Season 4 as fast as I can, but as I've gone over the 10gb limit for this month and my speed has been reduced to slower-than-a-paraplegic-snail-kbps, it isn't going very well. This also makes me sad. But not as sad as homophobia makes me.
When I become ruler of the world, there will be no homophobia and no slow internet speeds.
