LGBT Activists

I think LGBT Activists are needed a lot on today's society, as they have been needed in all times of mankind. It's true that in the past the LGBT community faced even harsher treatment than nowadays but that doesn't mean that we don't still need people who defend the Queer community from unequal or rude treatment.

I know now about this activist called Harvey Milk who made a change not only for himself but also for lots of people instead of just being a passive bystander, he stood his ground even with thousands of people hating him and I admire that a lot. He was a man who changed so many things and his name still lives on until today, when people from the LGBT community can thank him for all he did in the past… he was even assassinated for doing the things that he did but I bet a lot of people are grateful for his right-doings in the past days. This persona, Harvey Milk, is truly a definition of what the word “admirable” means and I think more politicians should follow his steps and care for the minority too.

Also I really like Rick Mercer’s rant about Teen Suicide in the LGBT community, he says everything just the way it is, with facts and a strong way of talking encouraging everyone to be like Harvey Milk and other activists and stop being passive about abuse and take a step forward in a more active role of stopping this nonsensical bad treatments towards gay, bi, trans or lesbian teenagers.

I think it’s really important to have this kind of people, activists “active” people who stop acting like there’s nothing wrong and like everything is good and alright because it’s not. I’m glad that we have people who are not afraid of saying what they think even in public and fight for what is right even if they are fighting alone, I really admire them and I hope that I can contribute in some way for this cause; for starters, I will act the way Rick Mercer said we should: raising our voices when we see abuse and help the people who are being treated unfairly.

There’s a lot of people who also helped in Canada: Brian Burke, Libby Davies, Douglas Wilson, Mark Tewsbury, David Corbett and El-Farouk Khaki so I want to do what they did in Canada in my home country, Mexico. I am only just one girl but they also where at some time “just one man” or “just one woman” so I know that a difference can be made even if you are just one person.

I plan to use this technique not just for defending the LGBT community but also for defending people against racism or plain bullying because I don’t think any of it is right, but people like Rick Mercer who speaks the whole truth in a strong, public way make me want to do it too, so thank you Rick Mercer for teaching me such a valuable lesson

Tories unveil crime bill, but not the costs

I think that if people feel the need to hide something it's because it is something bad or something that ashames them so I think this people hid the numbers for that same reason: they're bad.

They claim to be doing something entirely good that doesn't seem to have any consequences while in reality they are covering up the truth.

I'm sure most of the governments do this to protect themselves but I think that if you always say the truth you protect other people from the lie and I'd like everyone to do this, though it seems like an impossible dream.

This is my opinion.

First Entry

This person, this boy was born with all kinds of impediments to greatness.
Everything: born into poverty, brain damage, bad outer appearance, bullying, stuttering and more... who can think that this little boy can reach something, anything? Who thinks that he can even live past his thirties?
We don't choose how we're born or where we're born, obviously, but this boy had the worst of it.
He clearly says that he got no love from nobody, he had to rely on a dog more than his parents or family in general so how can he even hope for something better when he know nothing but pain and a bad life?
This is the story of this little boy, I wonder what will happen with this boy, I wonder how will he be able to achieve greatness...
This is what I'm curious about.
