I had a brilliant idea. At my school the Pride Action Committee, an LGBTQI Group, has a homo-phobia log.  Anything hateful, destructive or violent is recorded in it.

I wish this was not needed, but sometimes people can be hurtful and it very liberating to write down the comments and events that scar us.

Maybe someday we can close all the homo-phobia logs and put them on a shelf and never have to write in them again.

But…

For now, I suggest we create an online homo-phobia log where we can vent.

I only ask that we keep the homo-phobia log hate free. Vent all you want, but please do not become violent, destructive or hatful yourself.

The homo-phobia log will be used as a safe zone for all. It can become our history, and a place we can reference when we need a reminder of what we are fighting for in our human rights struggle.

I would like to hear your thoughts. If this is something you would like to see created, let me know and I’ll get the ball rolling.

I like this idea!  I think it would be helpful especially to those that are new to the community to see that others have the same struggles as well as it would be helpful to us older ones to vent when we can handle it any more.
