surprised much?

The reason Vasquez waits to tell you that these men are straight is because she does want you to think that they are gay. She wants it to be a shock when she tells you that they aren’t. She is making a point to say that people are judged by their appearances all of the time and sometimes appearances are just that, they are not how the person truly is. I don’t think that knowing some victims of antigay violence are heterosexual changes the issue. I think that violence regarding antigay movements are equal no matter who the victim is. They are still sending out the same message. It is not the message we want stopped. Everyone has their own right to say that they think being gay is wrong or immoral, or whatever they think. What they do not have the right to do is violently attack and demonstrate this. No view on a lifestyle is worth violence.
