Offended By Ignorance

Me: Well, it’s not like he was my favorite person around, but I can’t deny the fact that he and Jake Gyllenhaal both made an extreme impact on the current equal rights movement. I appreciate them both for that. So yes, I’m a little sad.
Her: Heath Ledger was involved in equal rights?!
Me: Yes, absolutely. The movie Brokeback Mountain brought awarness to the struggle people have been having with inequality in marriage.
Her: You mean, gay marriage?
Me: Yes.
Her: That’s not equal rights! Equal rights is like, women having the right to vote.
Me: …
Her: What?
Me: So it’s only equal rights if it effects you, then?
Her: Well I’m not gay, if that’s what you mean.

Thanks for messaging me, I’m glad you like my pictures on Flickr but I’m afraid I can no longer talk to you for I fear my head might explode due to your profound stupidity.

I can’t believe the nerve of some people. This just pissed me off so much I had to just block her because I couldn’t believe it.

Fucking hell.

People shit me so hard sometimes. I spent the first eighteen years of my life being force-fed this kind of crap, and it was so god-damn confusing, being around this type of ignorance, when you know deep inside that its just not right.

I thought she was being sarcastic at first, but when it became apparant that she wasn’t, I just stopped talking to her.

Emma, that is awful, I’m sorry you had to be surrounded by ignorance like that. How is Australia taking Mr. Ledger’s passing?

Jesus Christ. Ignorant… Sometimes I’m really sad and disappointed with people. Well, most of the time, really.

Jeeze! People are just so frustrating sometimes..

I’m still really sad about Heath - everyone around me is..
Brokeback Mountain is one of my favourite movies, and I think it’s one of the most moving movies ever made.

For my year 10 major work in English I wrote the musical version of Brokeback Mountain - which people found quite controversial, oddly enough.. I just wanted to write beautiful music to represent the beautiful story. Some people hated that - but I got 93% and I enjoyed doing it…

Now when I watch it, I know it will be doubly sad. His poor family, and beautiful daughter

And don’t be sorry about my upbringing, I’ve recovered completely ha :)
