On reading other people's blogs/journals, I mean. So I just saw this one today.

And so I pass along this bit of tolerance rhetoric, which is making the rounds of LiveJournal:

--I am the mother who told her lesbian daughter to invite her girlfriend over for dinner.

--I am the father who punished his son for calling you a fag.

--I am the preacher who told my congregation that love, not hate, is the definition of a true follower of God.

--I am the girl who did not learn the meaning of "homosexual" until high school but never thought to question why two men might be kissing.

--I am the woman who argues (quite loudly and vehemently) with the bigots who insist that you do not have the right to marry or raise children.

--We are the high school class who agrees, unanimously, along with our teacher, that love should be all that matters.

--If you agree, repost this. Do it. You don't have to be afraid. You can handle it. You're stronger than you think.

--I am making a difference. Hate will not win.
