I really do not see the big deal in someone standing up for what they believe in and getting noticed. People do it all the time and if it bothers you turn the other cheek and ignore it. I was raised to be vocal and stand up for my beliefs whatever they may be. I have been the watcher of activists groups, a participant and sometimes even started a uproar or two myself, ohhhh ahhhhhh.
What I really love about growing up in the US is that WE, EVERYONE can do this. You can stand up and be seen for whatever you want. You can start a group or following for any reason.
If it wasn't for people standing up or even sitting down on the back of a bus, people would still look at African Americans as inferior and not be given the same opportunites as whites. So being seen and heard does get things done.
Look........by that group of Lesbians standing up and kissing made this thread go on this long. It will probabaly go on for a while. With good comments and bad, but it made everyone come together and notice. They did what they wanted/needed to do to get noticed and it worked.
Well I will get off my soapbox now that i said my piece.
