An update on the Day of Silence.....some groups are urging parents to take their kids OUT OF SCHOOL to protest the Day of Silence. Oh that's good....yeah, let's interrupt a child's education because the parents are too close-minded or are mindless drones who just follow what these ultra-conservative groups say! So while the National Day of Silence looks to promote better relations and the end to violence of discrimination of GLBT youth, these conservative groups are promoting what? Ignorance?

Hands up all those who would REALLY like to kill Brian Kinney right now? (Wondering what the hell I'm talking about? - Queer as Folk, Third Season Episode 304 - Brian just stuck his nose where it didn't belong this whole episode. First, he works to get the ad contract for a candidate that is against gays. Then, he convinces Ethan that he should sign a contract that would require him to disavow any knowledge of Justin as his boyfriend and force him to deny he is gay!)

Okay...so let me get this straight. April 9th is National Day of Silence, where students will take a vow of silence for the 9 hours to protest violence and discrimination of GLBT youth. Yet conservative groups are screaming bloody murder. Why? Members of the Eagle Forum of Sacramento, Calif., a local chapter of anti-gay activist Phyllis Schlafly's national organization, passed out fliers in front of Elk Grove high schools that read: "Real Americans Do Not Push Homosexuality on Children!" The Eagle Forum claims the Day of Silence will further push the "homosexual agenda" on children, promoting what it calls an "immoral lifestyle."

Um....excuse me...but how are students, who won't talk all day and thus cannot communicating with ANYONE....how are they "pushing" homosexuality on children? It seems to me THEY are the ones who are trying to get everyone to notice.
