Hate Speech on Facebook
I got a message from one of my mother's friends on facebook about my profile picture. It's a picture of me kissing my girlfriend.... I wrote a blog about it with a screenshot of the message. Feel free to tell me what you think and comment how you see fit.

I am going to share not my ideas on the conversation but instead what my own response may have been. (even though I am straight)
Kissing my girlfriend is an expression of love and I am proud to display that expression. I hope that you have an avenue that you enjoy to express your love and to be yourself. For what a cold and sad, judgemental world we would live in if other people put limitations on such things as a sweet kiss between loves.
If you do personally in anyway feel offened by my photo please feel comfortable to remove me from your friends list. I personally find it charming when people of any sex in relationships post pictures of affection, and will happily be continuing to do so myself.
~Love~
P.S. Oh, and I think the picture of you and your girlfriend is very beautiful by the way:)

I hope that woman got banhammered. That is hate speech.
It's so stupid. I see pictures of (straight) women and men all the time kissing their spouses/SOs and kids, and they're all very lovely pictures that show how devoted they are to their families, and there are little if any negative comments on those pictures.
But I ran across one person (I was just browsing around and happened to find them) who displayed a picture of him kissing his boyfriend, and there were a lot of negative comments.
How pathetic and low can people get?

This frustrates me to no end...
I'm glad you cut that person out of your life.
She was a cancerous tumor that had to be removed. xD Lol. Seriously, though, I can't believe people think that they are so righteous that they can say these things.
If a Christian tries to tell me what I am doing 'wrong', I simply give them the scripture of Matthew 7:5. Excellent scripture to stop 'em in their tracks.![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
Don't let 'em get to you, hun.
Love and Light,
Blessed Be.
