I find this speech worth my attention, and those of others. We all have been in this state for a long, long time already. Homosexuality is NEVER a choice, rather it is natural. You can read more in my blog here "The Conflict Within" .

Oh wait, I haven’t finish. On May 21, ‘Jonathan’ and ‘Ms Dorothy’ used identical IP addresses – 202.75.144.7. Meanwhile, on May 23, ‘Taiym’, ‘Shetland’ and ‘Shaggy’ also used the IP address 60.52.100.248. Wow. 3 persons, same location. Coincidence of the year huh?

And Shetland, it’s strange of you to emphasize on my youth, since you’re not much older than I am.

Aww….clever clever…this is an office. And, within an office there are many pcs on one network using one IP address. One day when you grow up and get a job, you’ll understand this. You actually took the time to check on this? You have learned something after all! Still, not quite though. Again, an assumption with not enough proof. Tsk tsk…Nice try.

Dear ShetlandPony,

Thanks for the pointers. I’ll strive to reach out to the LGBT community. I agree with you that there’s a lot more that needs to be done, and though I don’t offer any promises, I’ll do my best.

(Also, please refrain from using multiple nicknames.On May 23, ‘Shetland’ and ‘Shaggy’ used identical IP addresses – 60.52.100.248. On May 26 and 27, ‘Shetland’ and ‘Patpaw’ used identical IP addresses – 124.82.87.60 and 60.51.104.100 respectively – again.)

I think “gay” here is a synecdoche for LGBTIQ.

A personal attack? I tend to question many things in people. Everyone gets criticized from time to time. How one takes it is important. How one learns from it is even more important. Gabrielle is an intelligent enough person who will go far in life and and can go far with this cause provided she goes about it correctly. However she is young. I a not saying youth should be silenced, however, there is so much to learn and to live.
One needs to listen to the community before one wants to speak for it. And bear in mind, when speaking on an LGBT cause as a lesbian, the public at large will view her as speaking for us whether anyone likes it or not. In this blog post anyway, her celebrated speech was based on Gay Rights. Winning speech no doubt. But there’s a lot more to done.
I need to explain myself to you? You, who loves a ‘Much loved person among my friends at that” ? Seriously?
