It's not about chicken.

Once again, it's proven that giving queer people equal rights is profitable. Maybe we can be full citizens *now*.

Dear people, Americans in particular,

Yes, you may have freedom of speech. What you don't have is freedom from consequences of that speech.

That means, if you say something bigoted and get called on it, nobody is censoring you.

That means, if you say something that's wrong and are corrected, nobody is censoring you.

That means, if you're attempting to sell a product and say something that offends me, me not buying your product isn't censorship.

Get *over* yourselves. You seem to forget that you're not the only one with the privilege to say what you like.

*eyerolls and no kisses*

Me

Oooh. Headache right between the eyes. If it would just rain already...I'd glower at the clouds, but that would make my head hurt...

This is the first time I'm watching the 1997 version...the original is *definitely* one of my very favorites. I really like this update...it's interesting.

I *did* mis-read... I thought it said 67.. and I'm not even sure that is the year of the original.. think it was older.

I will have to check out the remake--never saw it.

I hate the way that (in so many USAians's minds) free speech is supposed to be absolute and unassailable but all other rights are subject to the whims of the powerful. Ergh.

*clings to you*

I actually saw the comment that "liberals apparently think that liberty is fine if it's only for them."

Um, no dumb-ass. Equality is freedom for all. Keeping people from their rights is not liberty for all. Ugh.

I'm glad CFA is feeling some heat.

I subscribed to Jackson Pearce for being so awesome.
