Sometimes, when your faith in humanity has been sorely tested...

... it is good to see that there are still average, everyday people who WILL take a stand against injustice:

Awww, that's so sweet. <3

I am not surprised that more people were willing to speak up in Texas, though I am guessing it has less to do with politics and region than community size: in smaller communities, people are more likely to intervene and less likely to feel it's none of their business. I am not saying this makes small communities better -- the "none of my business" attitude arises out of a respect for people's privacy, because in larger communities it's harder to get privacy naturally.

In any case, it was still very cool. Although the gay-bashing waitress was awfully hard to watch. :(

Yeah, I rather agree with the big city/small town dichotomy in involvement. In major metropolitan areas, you have to get rather used to minding your own business.

As for the waitress, I have to give that actress props: that couldn't have been an easy role for her to play, especially in the face of all that adversity. Kudos to her!

I saw this video on Facebook; it was good to see some people standing up for the parents who were being bullied. I don't think people should be so judgmental about other people's life choices.

Neither do I and, apparently, neither do about half of Texans. :)

And that's only the half that's willing to stand up about it over strangers -- not counting those who manage to be oblivious or are too timid to speak up. :)

Good point! More yay for hope for humanity! :D

I'm not meaning to harsh your mellow, but I'm not finding the funny in that.

[green-elf.livejournal.com]

IF you take it seriuosly it isn't but I find the sillyness of it funny.

[the-vulture.livejournal.com]

I can find the silly in a lot of things, but that statement, as ridiculous as it may be, does not tickle any of my funny bones.

Well if somne said to me "being asexual is bad enoutgh" I would have found it equally hilarious. but maybe it's just me :o).

Clearly senses of humour differ in this situation.
