I'm in agreement with mal here. I just don't see how this helps. I think of any group, it's the fat people that get discriminated against the most. Anyway, that's a different story.
onesnowyowl, I completely see your point and understand what you're saying. However, I feel they do have more of a voice than is lead on. It wasn't too long ago that it was still very taboo for someone to be gay. Now, people don't look twice when they see 2 men holding hands public. Many crimes of all sorts go unmentioned every single day. It's not just in one particular group. There are racial crimes, hate crimes, and various others that will never be heard or solved because people don't have a voice, or actually maybe it's that they keep <i>silent</i> instead of using their voice. The marriage issue is a sticky one, and that is a flaw in our government. Other than that singular issue, what other issues does this group face? Keep in mind that I support them whole-heartedly. I just fail to see how this could possibly be a successful campaign. "Gee I don't have a voice in America so I guess I'll just show them by not talking for a full day". Doesn't add up in my book sorry.
