I wanted to relate that to you all, but I was spitting fire yesterday, so I waited a day to cool off.
As you well know -and if you don't, now you do- the Canadian government has been discussing about legalizing gay marriages. Well, believe it or not, my chinese teacher gave us all pamphlets about a "March for Marriage" -Marriage = 1man + 1woman for them- stating that it was "for our children", "for Canada", and "for humanity". What kind of bullshit is that? For children to be prejudiced against homosexuals? For Canada to be considered a bigotted country? To be regarded as retarded by all those countries that have permitted gay marriages? For humanity? Hardly. Do you see Humanity getting better by denying rights for people to get married with whom they pleased?
Okay, so it's not a big deal for me personnally, as I don't plan to get married with a woman anytime soon if ever. What really got to me was the fact that they passed those little papers all around the damn building, and that the majority of the recipients are still children! The younger are 3 or 4 years old; they won't know any better. Teachers hold authority, and they will be believed by the children. As the school is a catholic school, I could understand that they are against homosexuality as a principle, but I think it's immoral of them to try to brainwash those kids with propaganda.
What did I do with the damned paper? I have to admit wanting to destroy it at the time, but settled to folding it into a boat. No need to destroy a piece of paper that'll only get me a small sense of satisfaction. I'm an idealist, I'll get much more satisfaction when justice will prevail -as I have no doubt- in time.
Want to know what I was talking about, and get a look at the pamphlet? http://www.march4marriage.ca/ Feel free to be disgusted.
