Day of Silence Promotion

A video I had made for the Day of Silence in 2008 for my school. It aired on the morning announcements. Didn't receive as much positive feedback as I had wished, unfortunately.

No! 100% false! God is Love. Love cannot be silent. What you really are silencing is the truth! The truth cannot be silenced. That's why we Christians speak out. And for the bullying, that's not true. We as students, still go to school. And watch the other videos. The gays are the one who bully, etc. while Christians try to speak out.

I believe, friend, you misunderstand the point of the Day of Silence. It is not to silence truth; the silence is to represent the forced silence that gays face: the inability to come out or live a life without fatal threats. Those pictures aren't for show. They are actual people who faced violence. I agree - God is love. But violent protest and painting "the gays" as the enemy is not what God would have wanted. The right to a peaceful coexistance is everyone's right. God bless, in Christ.

Yes it is to silence the truth! People have got so far, that they try to brainwash kids now these days, and teach them that homosexuality is good in schools. Why don't they keep it to themselves then, and not bring it into the public? Bullying? Make a gay school, and keep all them there. Don't go in public brainwashing our Christians, and trying to teach them its OK. No it's NOT. They don't let to teach religion in schools, then NO to gay also.

They used to put people in different schools in America - it was called segregation and was deemed inequal to treat a person that way. Gluttony is a deadly sin. Should we put all who are obese in a different school? Should we teach them that eating as much as they wish is wrong? Worshiping false gods is a sin - yet we teach the those who follow Hindu that they have the right to follow and practice their religion. Peaceful coexistance, friend.

I must apologize - I accidentally deleted your latest post. I didn't mean to.

But I must ask - how many gay people do you know? Might you befriend one. Not to agree or sympathize with gay people but to get a different perspective and maybe, in the end, reaffirm your own belief. But just an idea. You must remember, no person fights for something for the fun of it - I didn't create this video because I was bored. There is a reason why gays ask for equal rights. But now I'm preaching. Forgive me.

this is really well done. i did day of silence. it was really a great thing to do. unfortunetly my old friend who is an extreme catholic told me if i support gays were not friends. lets just say i havent talked to her since then. too bad isnt it? that people can't just accept that not everyones the same. it's not a bad thing. it's good. & people shouldn't be bashed on because of there sexual orientation. it's just wrong.

Well-done video, congrats on battling negative commenters with tact, and thank you for your kind, supportive words on ours.

gays bully christians? talk about 100% false

you might want to read the gospels a few times before you speak out against homosexuals. you already said "God is love", but apparently you fail to truly believe it

plus as already pointed out, in the USA it doesn't particularly matter what any particular religion thinks. it's not gays who seek to silence homophobia, it's Americans
