[MISC] Make Love, Not War

Today was the International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia ("IDAHO")!

As a slash fanfic writer, one could say that I promote the word against homophobia (and racism in general, really) all year long ;p Still, we still need to spread the word as far as we can and as loud as we can!

So yeah, here is a word, to remind people that all isn't as pink and fairy like than in our fanfictions. People in real life actually die because they have the nerve to want to spend the rest of their life with a person of the same sex or because they feel like they were born in the wrong body/can't stand their own body for some reason. I am lucky to feel good enough as I am and to live in a mostly free country, but it doesn't mean that I have to turn a blind eye to the rest of the world.


Every time I hear about racism or violences or famine or... Every time I hear about people being in distress and nobody doing anything, I remember this song of Solomon Burke:

None of Us Are Free

And there are people still in darkness,
and they just can't see the light.
If you don't say it's wrong then that says it right.
We got try to feel for each other, let our brother's know that we care.
Got to get the message, send it out loud and clear.
