Those who would use religion to insult and condemn don’t understand that it is not their place to condemn because ultimately it is only God’s judgment that matters.<BR/><BR/>My philosophy? Treat everyone with love, for in the end only God can judge them."<BR/><BR/><BR/>This girl is fabulous!Rebecca Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14441338787660747184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3326236123129851013.post-78192400694538385552009-03-29T18:02:00.000-03:002009-03-29T18:02:00.000-03:00I agree with the comment below me..It is a VERY mo...I agree with the comment below me..It is a VERY moving interview.

It's ...Wow, that was such a great thing to have up. It's sad (and a little disturbing) that anyone would be so ignorant and rude as to make an "anti-Silence" day.<BR/><BR/>This reminds me of a lady in my bioethics class. She kept complaining that homosexuals (whom she continually referred to as "gay men"-- as if there are no gay women) are able to be covered by their partner's insurance when they are not married, yet she could not be covered by her boyfriend's. I kept thinking, well you have the option of marrying your boyfriend-- they don't. What are they supposed to give up health insurance because we won't let them get married? But she continued to act like she as a heterosexual was being wronged by the rule. I'm like, fuck, this is the ONLY thing that comes close to being a disadvantage when it comes to being a heterosexual. God.<BR/><BR/>Um, yeah. It made me angry. Anyway, wonderful interview, and Emily, you are so articulate-- not to mention very inspiring.<BR/><BR/>LeeLeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14987540711541886234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3326236123129851013.post-16493327633129399002009-03-29T05:46:00.000-03:002009-03-29T05:46:00.000-03:00An amazing interview.

It's really annoying that people make assumptions based on who a person's parents are. I just think a person's relationship is their business and as long as their kids are safe we shouldn't interfere. She's an amazing girl. Hopefully many, many people will get an opportunity to read this.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Oh, and lolz at the Wanda Sykes video.Human Racinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13141735299491963060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3326236123129851013.post-59933596309650496352009-03-28T22:09:00.000-03:002009-03-28T22:09:00.000-03:00this is a brilliant post, i love this new series o...this is a brilliant post, i love this new series of yours! <BR/>also, that first link at the end, "combatting bigotry," is hilarious and so thoroughly researched. however do you find these things?<BR/>best!leilani.ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16652760618255792763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3326236123129851013.post-43923808933943019452009-03-28T17:49:00.000-03:002009-03-28T17:49:00.000-03:00i really enjoyed reading that. keep up the good wo...i really enjoyed reading that. keep up the good work, mary. if your future career plans include journalism, i'm sure you'll do an awesome job.<BR/><BR/>and emily's story is quite inspiring, i might add. i hope someone with ignorant viewpoints on homosexuality reads this, honestly. i think it might just let them see things in a new light.<BR/><BR/>bravo!Gabrielle.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14573518907516570228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3326236123129851013.post-41863241479631376042009-03-28T16:41:00.000-03:002009-03-28T16:41:00.000-03:00Great interview.

For the most part, the kids at my school seem to be pretty accepting of the LGBT and those who aren't are just generally ignorant people anyways. Also, I love that Emily is Christian and still accepts the LGBT community and gay marriage. I'm hoping that it'll be legal in the future because after all, love is love.Sammiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18154129825986071115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3326236123129851013.post-51323468680386230742009-03-28T01:15:00.000-03:002009-03-28T01:15:00.000-03:00Love this interview.

I already got my Day of Silence shirt ready to go. <BR/>I get so incredibly angry when people insult and surpress those of the LGTB community. One of my friends (he came out officially just about three months ago) and uncle (who very sadly passed away about two years ago) are gay. I just don't understand how people can be so stupid and close minded. People who don't try to see from other perspectives aren't really doing their duty as a human being. My teacher once quoted Charles Dickens as saying "Every human’s responsibility is man kind.” It's our responsibility to care for those around us. Not to go off on a tangent...but it's the same thing with genocide (which I absolutely love you for caring so much about.) We're supposed to love and care regardless of race, religion, orientation...I mean, really, aren't humans supposed to be intelligent?Sylviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12898228924054730230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3326236123129851013.post-3426168221148100832009-03-28T01:08:00.000-03:002009-03-28T01:08:00.000-03:00you are the nicest person i know, and its great th...you are the nicest person i know, and its great that you did this, i was just thinking about children with homosexual parents today. I think it shouldn't matter at all, since love is an out of body connection with 2 people and physical characteristics shouldn't be a boundary.

Thank you so much for your lovely comment, it's really nice to know people are enjoying my blog when i'm just starting out! <BR/><BR/>I have to say that i love what you write about and what you wear! Gap is one of my favourite stores :) And i would probably cut off a few toes for your Marc Jacobs leather bag. Just sayin'... <BR/><BR/>It's so important for young people to raise awareness for issues such as darfur, sexuality, and tolerance (leading eventually to ACCEPTANCE) of different lifestyles.
