So there's a "gay rights" meme going around.
I believe strongly in gay rights; anyone who's read my journal for more than a few months already knows this. I believe gay couples should be permitted to marry, in every state of the union, with all social and legal rights straight couples have.
But I bitterly resent any LJ meme that claims "If you don't repeat this meme, you're opposed to gay rights." And that's what the initial wording of the meme implies.
So no. I'm not putting your topic heading in my subject line, I'm not reposting your meme, and I'm not asking anyone else to do so. You want to ask for my participation in a meme? Ask. You want to demand it, and make assumptions about my beliefs based on my reply? Bite me.

I guess as long as we make certain my three days of gaydom sync up with the other monthly cycle in the household, everyone wins. :-D
(And with that single comment, I believe I've reached my "Tackiness Quota" for the week.)

If *my* post has led, directly or indirectly, to generating this reaction in you, I apologize. I didn't mean to be a source of stress for anyone. As much as I believe in gay rights, I believe that free will is more important.

It's the originator of the meme, who chose to word it in such a confrontational and binary fashion, that I take issue with--not anyone else who chose to post it.

It's a complete logical fallacy. I don't remember the name of this specific one, though.

So you don't think non-American gay couples should be allowed to marry??? ;)

Along the same lines
I put that with along the same lines as those emails that you get that state "You must send this to everyone you know to let them know you're their friend! and if I don't get it back, I'll assume you don't think I'm your friend ;_;" With any of those, if you actually know the person posting/sending it, I find them to be quite unnecessary.
