i was so sad i missed all the shows today, but i saw Lauren announce the points, it made my day ^^ Wish i could go to wrockstock!!! stupid exams and different contenents tend to get in the way though :(
I went to the Wrock for Equality event this morning and went door to door. I was really happy after two hours of walking around to strangers' doors in the pouring rain, every single person that I talked to was in support of No on 1.
The morning concert (i had to leave in the afternoon) was also awesome. Paul jumped off the stage, knocked over the video camera, fell onto the ground, got back up, and then fell forward over our table, all while rockin out.
Unfortunately, Prop 8 doesn't affect the people who were not disappointed. Nice of them to take away other people's rights and be happy about it getting passed.
But isn't that the whole point? Whether gay marriage is a right or not? And legalized gay marriage affects everyone no matter what their stance is. Have you ever heard of the butterfly effect? It is the same thing. Legalizing or not legalizing gay marriage affects our society which does affect me no matter what my beliefs are.
Yeah, they're just contributing to the confusion. People don't seem to understand that when I'm dressed as Myrtle, it doesn't make me a Ravenclaw. It makes Myrtle a Ravenclaw.
It's official. I love you. I just liked you before, now I love you. :) I will join you online, since I can not be there.. But my room mate is from Main! :D
Thanks to HPA for bringing this to everyone's attention. I didn't know about it, this can't happen. Why would the US go backwards in another state? Wrock 4 Equality FTW.
I really want to be in the livestream but I have work all day Saturday so I'll try my bestest.
Nooooo! Finally people are coming to where I live and I have to work. Okay, I just checked and I can go to the concert, but I would have to leave soon after for work ^__^
OMG I really hope everything works out in Maine. This is absolutely rediculous that they are even questioning equal rights. Absolutely insane crap. YOU GO GIRL!
GO GO LAUREN! I'm Canadian and we've had legal same-sex marriages for a long time now. Even though I'm straight, I appreciate that. I don't understand legislation that takes away choice. Just because gay marriage is legal here doesn't mean that every Canadian citizen has to have one; it's been far less detrimental to families than the concept of divorce (and I don't see anyone fighting to take our right to divorce away), and it's certainly not "turning people gay." Good luck!
Fluffy sheep and marriage equality for the win!! That's so awesome about Wrock 4 Equality...I hadn't heard anything about it, so thank you! Also - you got to talk to Evanna Lynch?!? WOW. I'd give a limb to be able to do that! Ok, maybe not. Good for you, Lauren!
You know how a while back you made a video about going to class and having to write a song (I think) and someone turning and saying "what are you gonna write about? Harry Potter (insert nasally jerk laugh here)"? Well I finally thought of a comeback "Yeah I am, and I'm gonna put it up on my channel and over 25,000 people are gonna watch it. What are you gonna write about?"
I wanna know how people can be granted rights... rights they should have as human beings then be told UP nope can't have that. It is so awesome you are doing this I am way in the south but if I was anywhere near close I would so be there helping out.
Voldemort Can't Stop the... wait it's not Voldemort? Well that should make this a lot easier. Wish I could go but everything happens in the US and I'm in Canada.
Yeah, someone on our channel comments is already verbally abusing me for opposing marriage equality when I thought it was pretty clear that I'm all for it, and that's why we're pushing the whole NO on prop 1 thing.
The scripts for this Saturday's event are pretty much to explain to people that they should vote NO if they want to keep marriage equality, and to remind them to vote in the first place.
I was referring to my vehemence towards the fact that there are probably many who are afraid of voicing their opinions about possibly being for this proposition because of the hatred and maliciousness often displayed by those who are against it.
It just seems like a double standard to me. Of course, I'm not accusing you of doing this specifically.
ive been getting tweets and emails for wrock4 equality for ages now, and im soooo sad i cant be involved (ill be at a swim meet) but i wish everyone the best of luck/fun time
I am very excited that as a Ravenclaw, Evanna Lynch is my HOH. My brother's birthday is this weekend, so I doubt I'll have time to participate fully, but maybe I'll get the chance to pop in & do something...
Yey! Good luck. Competition is fun, but Slytherin'll win because we're the awesomest!!! (Kidding, seriously though Good luck to all the houses) I can't wait for Saturday. The phone thing is pretty cool. I put in some time this morning, and everyone was at least polite, which was better than I expected. (I was pretty nervous) Anyhow, good luck!
If you never change you will be the most desirable woman when you hit your late 20's early 30's. Not that you aren't the most desirable now, however this state will be exponentially developed as you age. Also, I am stoked that Luna is my head of house.
Yeah, of all the comments for you to see and comment on, that was a more embarassing one, I am however getting really fed up with people who are more than glad to deprive people of basic human rights merely because they don't "believe" in it... Beliefs should be reserved for friends and family, not ruling other peoples freedoms.
I wasn't aware you had an interest in women. Yes, I think it kind of hurts human rights when we limit ourselves to those that affect us personally, hence why I am a straight male who takes interest in homosexual rights and consider myself a feminist, it lends credence and solidarity.
Point taken, I quit smoking today, I am a little grouchy. It got your attention though and we have had this wonderful little chat, so maybe you see the creation that can arise from destruction? Besides, this is the interwebs, when we say "stop breathing" we are saying nothing more harmful than "whatever buddy!" at least thats how I have always seen it.
I just don't think we need to be the people destructing anything, is all. If anything, other people are destructing our potential happiness because of their "beliefs". I'm not saying we should be doing them any favors or anything, just that this particular example was rather nice and polite about presenting her views. We're probably not going to change them by insulting her, is all.
P.S. I admire you and it was in fact an honour to even speak with you, it really however is a pity that a rare flash of my occasional piss-poor behaviour was the catalyst to that. Really, imagine a person you admire most and imagine meeting them at the mall and the first thing they do is point out your fly is down... BOOOOOO! I agree with you on all the comments above, you are right, but alas there are times when out of frustration even the obviously articulate resort to WTFPWN measures...
Aw, yer rilly sweet, I knew there was a reason I adore you. <3
Sorry about bein a jerk in video comments :(
This really isn't the place for it, but that kind of attitude really ticks me off... Not believing that people should have equal rights? Where do these people get off? Enough about that though, DFTBA as usual I know you of all people won't.
Oh, don't worry, it confuses me too. The idea that some people don't believe in equal rights is just beyond my scope of understanding at this point. I'm not saying that people have to be pro-same sex marriage, just be pro-humanity.
Radical, beliefs are ALL that define law. We as a society choose to believe something is or is not acceptable and those who disagree with us, be they in the minority, must abide by those laws. That is the foundation of any civilization from now back unto Ancient Mesopotamia and Hammurabi "receiving" his code of laws.
If we did not allow beliefs to rule other people we would have no rule of law. That you disagree with what is or is not acceptable is fine, but he law is defined by belief.
Maybe you saw my name? Maybe you see the difference between these two following statements: 1. We as a people think that it isn't right for you to kill puppies in your backyard.
2. We as a select minority think that it isn't right for you to experience the bliss of matrimony because we don't think it's right.
I hope you see the subtle differences there.
There is a point where belief crosses over into something greater and that is when it becomes law, it is not inherently so...
Firstly, these laws do not pass because a "minority" votes for them.
Secondly, and more importantly, your analogy is flawed. A more appropriate situation would be that we as a society do not allow a 17 year old and an 18 year old to have consensual sex. They feel it is unfair and they are infringed upon, but the law is the law and a line was drawn that cannot be crossed.
If you wish to oppose the law, that's fine, but then your "beliefs" are overriding the beliefs of others, aren't they?
Oh, I wasn't disagreeing with you per se, however there are more than 2 options in selecting your stance on a particular law, people feel that particularly in the case of same sex marriage that they are either "for" or "against" it, however there is a third and vastly more important option that should be observed. One may not "believe" that it is right, yet must recognize it as harmless to them and a happiness to many, many others, would it not be pertinent to then elect to NOT HAVE AN OPINION?
Ah, but if a person believes it is wrong, do they not have a right, if not an obligation, to act on those beliefs?
Those you disagree with are as much a member of this society as you or I (and yes, I know you're Canadian, but you know what I mean) and to them it does hurt them as it is the government choosing to recognize as legitimate something they believe is wrong.
I'm not, you'll note, giving my position on the issue. I'm merely trying to help you see that both views have legitimacy.
I'm not trying to troll, nor am I giving my (or assuming your) position on the issue. However, regardless of whether or not people in a society think it is wrong, they do not have the right to impose their beliefs on others. Allowing marriage equality will in no way affect them or the way they live. They do not need to agree with it. Nothing is being forced on them. If, however, they try to stop gay marriage, they are forcing their beliefs on others.
And allowing gay marriage is forcing 'your" beliefs on them. They are members of our society, as well, and for us to recognize gay marriage as legitimate means that their society has rejected their beliefs. To them, that is very personal.
After all, how do you feel when society rejects your beliefs as wrong? They have as much right to their beliefs as you do yours, and regardless of how this falls, either you or they will have their beliefs trampled on by the other's.
You are saying that making gay marriage legal s unfairly forcing one set of values onto another group. If this proposition passes, then the same thing will happen in the opposite direction, invalidating your argument. For the sake of argument, I assume that you are correct in asserting that allowing gay marriage is unfairly forcing values on a group, then the inverse still has more limitations to freedom. Also, the law is for the government to recognize gay marriage, not for anyone else.
There is never legitimacy to limiting peoples rights without at least being objective. We are talking about consenting adults. There is absolutely no excuse for outsiders to limit the rights of two consenting adults to be married. This is a situation where people need to grow up. Stay out of one anothers business and move on, we only move as quickly as our slowest members even as a society.
There is legitimacy to their views, as they stem from a moral compass, just as yours do. What makes yours more legitimate? You can provide no tangible evidence.
As I said, everyone, including the people you disagree with, are members of this society. They have as much of a stake in this society as you do, and therefore they are wholly entitled to their views. They are also entitled to enact laws based on those views. If others agree with them, those laws are enacted.
I would whole-heartedly agree with you if in fact there was any basis for a wrongdoing of any kind at all whatsoever, we are talking about two adults in love with the desire to be married. Where does one find any wrong with that? Seriously, give me one logical argument against two adults being married. I will point out also that religion and civil law are mutually exclusive, so a religious standpoint is invalid.
umm equality isnt a belief its a right just because you think that your religion is correct that means you can take away the rights and freedoms of another human why dont you just shove your close minded ideas up your ass oh yeah and if you think being gay is a choice try to be gay for a day i bet you cant
That isn't a valid comparison. Of course people who are homosexual feel the pull toward the opposite sex. But sometimes when my friends go out partying and drinking beer, I want to go. But I don't, because that's illegal (I'm underage). It's kind of the same thing, if you're a Christian. One might be kind of interested in the same sex but recognizes that it's a temptation and calls on God to help. I really didn't mean to start this up, though, so I'll just be quiet now.
Your choice of religion is something that you may very well grow out of, as you said you are underage. But people will live their entire lives as outcasts and criminals because you and people who think like you condemned their love, if they could chose who they love it might not be so bad. Think first as a human being, then think as a member of a religion second. You will always be human, but you may not always be christian, make sense?
I'm sorry, Lauren. I honestly didn't mean to start anything up- I didn't realize anyone would reply to my comment. I won't be offended if you delete my comments!
Why would I delete your comments? Thank you for being nice. I just think the world would be a better place if everyone had equal rights, and I think it's sad that there are people who don't think so, who are keeping that from happening. Marriage would make so many people incredibly happy, but that right either doesn't exist for them or it's being taken away.
At the end of the day, we're all sinners. I'd just like for us to be happily married sinners who never did anything but love others. :)
I believe that God instructed a man to love a woman and vice versa. That does not mean that I think I'm better than anyone else- I don't. I simply think homosexuality is a sin. I sin every day! One of my best friends is gay, and I don't judgfe him for it. Because I sin too. If you don't believe the same thing, it's absolutely fine. But please don't tell me I'm idiot because of my beliefs.
I'm sure youtube comments isn't the best spot for a question like this but (coming from an open-minded agnostic,) how can you love somebody but believe that their existence is a sin? Maybe you could give me your thoughts on this? Not trying to be hurtful or anything, just...curious.
sure I'll try my best. Has your best friend ever done something to hurt you? But you still love them because they are your friend and you still care about them? It's like the same thing. I love these people because they are humans and deserve my love. But I do not love the ACTION (that's important! temptation is not a sin, the ACTION of homosexuality is) that they decided to do. Does that help at all?

The scripts for this Saturday's event are pretty much to explain to people that they should vote NO if they want to keep marriage equality, and to remind them to vote in the first place.

I was referring to my vehemence towards the fact that there are probably many who are afraid of voicing their opinions about possibly being for this proposition because of the hatred and maliciousness often displayed by those who are against it.
It just seems like a double standard to me. Of course, I'm not accusing you of doing this specifically.
SnakesAndWorms 2 years ago
They don't have to voice any opinions. Nobody needs to know what they voted. Again, we're encouraging them to do it anyway, and maybe that will help.

Hey, no need to jump all over PolkadottedCam. At least she was being nice and polite about not believing in my right to marry someone I love someday.
devilishlypure 2 years ago 4
Yeah, of all the comments for you to see and comment on, that was a more embarassing one, I am however getting really fed up with people who are more than glad to deprive people of basic human rights merely because they don't "believe" in it... Beliefs should be reserved for friends and family, not ruling other peoples freedoms.
Newradical78 2 years ago
I see all of the comments people leave me!
I agree though. It's sad thinking about how I might not be able to marry someone I love someday because of people who don't "believe" in it.
devilishlypure 2 years ago 3
I wasn't aware you had an interest in women. Yes, I think it kind of hurts human rights when we limit ourselves to those that affect us personally, hence why I am a straight male who takes interest in homosexual rights and consider myself a feminist, it lends credence and solidarity.
Newradical78 2 years ago
Calling people idiots and telling people to stop breathing doesn't necessarily help either. All you need is love! :D
devilishlypure 2 years ago 6
Point taken, I quit smoking today, I am a little grouchy. It got your attention though and we have had this wonderful little chat, so maybe you see the creation that can arise from destruction? Besides, this is the interwebs, when we say "stop breathing" we are saying nothing more harmful than "whatever buddy!" at least thats how I have always seen it.
Newradical78 2 years ago
Congrats! Good luck with the not smoking. :)
I just don't think we need to be the people destructing anything, is all. If anything, other people are destructing our potential happiness because of their "beliefs". I'm not saying we should be doing them any favors or anything, just that this particular example was rather nice and polite about presenting her views. We're probably not going to change them by insulting her, is all.
devilishlypure 2 years ago 2
P.S. I admire you and it was in fact an honour to even speak with you, it really however is a pity that a rare flash of my occasional piss-poor behaviour was the catalyst to that. Really, imagine a person you admire most and imagine meeting them at the mall and the first thing they do is point out your fly is down... BOOOOOO! I agree with you on all the comments above, you are right, but alas there are times when out of frustration even the obviously articulate resort to WTFPWN measures...

This really isn't the place for it, but that kind of attitude really ticks me off... Not believing that people should have equal rights? Where do these people get off? Enough about that though, DFTBA as usual I know you of all people won't.
Newradical78 2 years ago
Oh, don't worry, it confuses me too. The idea that some people don't believe in equal rights is just beyond my scope of understanding at this point. I'm not saying that people have to be pro-same sex marriage, just be pro-humanity.
devilishlypure 2 years ago 4
Agreed, it's called secular humanism, and I personally like to think that I live by these tenants (despite the occasional negative outburst).
Newradical78 2 years ago
Radical, beliefs are ALL that define law. We as a society choose to believe something is or is not acceptable and those who disagree with us, be they in the minority, must abide by those laws. That is the foundation of any civilization from now back unto Ancient Mesopotamia and Hammurabi "receiving" his code of laws.
If we did not allow beliefs to rule other people we would have no rule of law. That you disagree with what is or is not acceptable is fine, but he law is defined by belief.
17thknight 2 years ago 2
Maybe you saw my name? Maybe you see the difference between these two following statements: 1. We as a people think that it isn't right for you to kill puppies in your backyard.
2. We as a select minority think that it isn't right for you to experience the bliss of matrimony because we don't think it's right.
I hope you see the subtle differences there.
There is a point where belief crosses over into something greater and that is when it becomes law, it is not inherently so...
Newradical78 2 years ago
Firstly, these laws do not pass because a "minority" votes for them.
Secondly, and more importantly, your analogy is flawed. A more appropriate situation would be that we as a society do not allow a 17 year old and an 18 year old to have consensual sex. They feel it is unfair and they are infringed upon, but the law is the law and a line was drawn that cannot be crossed.
If you wish to oppose the law, that's fine, but then your "beliefs" are overriding the beliefs of others, aren't they?
17thknight 2 years ago
Oh, I wasn't disagreeing with you per se, however there are more than 2 options in selecting your stance on a particular law, people feel that particularly in the case of same sex marriage that they are either "for" or "against" it, however there is a third and vastly more important option that should be observed. One may not "believe" that it is right, yet must recognize it as harmless to them and a happiness to many, many others, would it not be pertinent to then elect to NOT HAVE AN OPINION?
Newradical78 2 years ago
Ah, but if a person believes it is wrong, do they not have a right, if not an obligation, to act on those beliefs?
Those you disagree with are as much a member of this society as you or I (and yes, I know you're Canadian, but you know what I mean) and to them it does hurt them as it is the government choosing to recognize as legitimate something they believe is wrong.
I'm not, you'll note, giving my position on the issue. I'm merely trying to help you see that both views have legitimacy.
17thknight 2 years ago
I'm not trying to troll, nor am I giving my (or assuming your) position on the issue. However, regardless of whether or not people in a society think it is wrong, they do not have the right to impose their beliefs on others. Allowing marriage equality will in no way affect them or the way they live. They do not need to agree with it. Nothing is being forced on them. If, however, they try to stop gay marriage, they are forcing their beliefs on others.
TheHumanApple 2 years ago
And allowing gay marriage is forcing 'your" beliefs on them. They are members of our society, as well, and for us to recognize gay marriage as legitimate means that their society has rejected their beliefs. To them, that is very personal.
After all, how do you feel when society rejects your beliefs as wrong? They have as much right to their beliefs as you do yours, and regardless of how this falls, either you or they will have their beliefs trampled on by the other's.
17thknight 2 years ago
You are saying that making gay marriage legal s unfairly forcing one set of values onto another group. If this proposition passes, then the same thing will happen in the opposite direction, invalidating your argument. For the sake of argument, I assume that you are correct in asserting that allowing gay marriage is unfairly forcing values on a group, then the inverse still has more limitations to freedom. Also, the law is for the government to recognize gay marriage, not for anyone else.
TheHumanApple 2 years ago
There is never legitimacy to limiting peoples rights without at least being objective. We are talking about consenting adults. There is absolutely no excuse for outsiders to limit the rights of two consenting adults to be married. This is a situation where people need to grow up. Stay out of one anothers business and move on, we only move as quickly as our slowest members even as a society.
Newradical78 2 years ago
There is legitimacy to their views, as they stem from a moral compass, just as yours do. What makes yours more legitimate? You can provide no tangible evidence.
As I said, everyone, including the people you disagree with, are members of this society. They have as much of a stake in this society as you do, and therefore they are wholly entitled to their views. They are also entitled to enact laws based on those views. If others agree with them, those laws are enacted.
Those are THEIR rights.
17thknight 2 years ago 2
I would whole-heartedly agree with you if in fact there was any basis for a wrongdoing of any kind at all whatsoever, we are talking about two adults in love with the desire to be married. Where does one find any wrong with that? Seriously, give me one logical argument against two adults being married. I will point out also that religion and civil law are mutually exclusive, so a religious standpoint is invalid.
Newradical78 2 years ago
umm equality isnt a belief its a right just because you think that your religion is correct that means you can take away the rights and freedoms of another human why dont you just shove your close minded ideas up your ass oh yeah and if you think being gay is a choice try to be gay for a day i bet you cant
yoyopimp1234 2 years ago
That isn't a valid comparison. Of course people who are homosexual feel the pull toward the opposite sex. But sometimes when my friends go out partying and drinking beer, I want to go. But I don't, because that's illegal (I'm underage). It's kind of the same thing, if you're a Christian. One might be kind of interested in the same sex but recognizes that it's a temptation and calls on God to help. I really didn't mean to start this up, though, so I'll just be quiet now.
PolkadottedCam 2 years ago 3
Your choice of religion is something that you may very well grow out of, as you said you are underage. But people will live their entire lives as outcasts and criminals because you and people who think like you condemned their love, if they could chose who they love it might not be so bad. Think first as a human being, then think as a member of a religion second. You will always be human, but you may not always be christian, make sense?

Why would I delete your comments? Thank you for being nice. I just think the world would be a better place if everyone had equal rights, and I think it's sad that there are people who don't think so, who are keeping that from happening. Marriage would make so many people incredibly happy, but that right either doesn't exist for them or it's being taken away.
At the end of the day, we're all sinners. I'd just like for us to be happily married sinners who never did anything but love others. :)

I believe that God instructed a man to love a woman and vice versa. That does not mean that I think I'm better than anyone else- I don't. I simply think homosexuality is a sin. I sin every day! One of my best friends is gay, and I don't judgfe him for it. Because I sin too. If you don't believe the same thing, it's absolutely fine. But please don't tell me I'm idiot because of my beliefs.

I am a Christian, and I believe that Homosexuality is wrong, and I don't agree with it, but I love the people and I don't judge them.

I'm sure youtube comments isn't the best spot for a question like this but (coming from an open-minded agnostic,) how can you love somebody but believe that their existence is a sin? Maybe you could give me your thoughts on this? Not trying to be hurtful or anything, just...curious.
dinahroses 2 years ago
sure I'll try my best. Has your best friend ever done something to hurt you? But you still love them because they are your friend and you still care about them? It's like the same thing. I love these people because they are humans and deserve my love. But I do not love the ACTION (that's important! temptation is not a sin, the ACTION of homosexuality is) that they decided to do. Does that help at all?
