Give a Damn

[lea_hazel]

I'm straight. I'm gay. I'm bisexual. And I give a damn about equality.

Imagine walking down the street and wondering if this is the day you'll get beaten up, or even killed, simply because of who you are.

Many gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender teens who come out to their parents are thrown out of their homes.

We all have to give a damn.

Jason Mraz (the one who announces "I'm straight") has long been one of my favorite musicians. I cannot express how happy it makes me that he's involved with this.

I've heard about him. I need to look up his music.

I also get a little heartwarmed whenever someone I recognize is in one of these. Even though I don't really know them, it's nice to be able to think that the people whose professional work I admire are also decent human beings.
