Today I have had some problems

[reviews_and_ramblings]

Today I made something I want to do, but that many people says me it's not correct... so they make me thinking...

And now I say: I continue to believe in Gay Rights, but it's correct that nobody makes feel other constraint to say it.

I don't remember who says "I don't believe in what you say but I will die to allow you to say it".

It's a good motto. I'm not gay, but I want that everyone can say it without problems.

I agree with you: Gay rights are a good and necessary thing. My only problem with that meme, and it's one that many people had, is the 'do this or else' feel it had to it, as well as the 'we want to see who believes this' -- Maybe these things don't translate well -- especially given the current level of paranoia in the us given the current administration - but it raises a lot of red flags.

It's the language, not the sentiment. The sentiment is wonderful. I don't want to see people attacking you for it, which is why I sent that first comment. I saw many, many people go through this the first time that Meme went around and would spare you that.

If I have offended you or hurt you feelings, I apologize. Sometimes i put my foot in my mouth, and this may have been one of those times.

No offense. I browsed others LJ to see the previous reactions, and you are right, the meme wrote in that language is compulsory, and this is not correct. You know, in my family we have a tradition of opponent: my great grandfather was an opponent to the State and imprisoned many time, my great father was a soldier during the WWII who deserted the army cause it is against the state, my father was a syndacalist during the '70 years (years very hot here in Italy), my mother was a feminist... so, you see, I have the "struggle against injustice" in the blood.
