Agreed. But it's still quite a nice gesture. I'm not saying everyone has to make their picture rainbow. Just do it if you want to. And please don't complain about it.
Because if you just have patience you'll be able to calmly wait out the time it takes but if you don't have patience, as it so appears, you're just going to get more and more pissed at the time it's taking.
Well sure, but I can also be annoyed while it's going on, and then be at peace once it's done, all the while voicing my opinion when the opportunity presents itself.
Garlog, I'm sorry, but if such small things annoy you, then it's probably time to rethink how you live your life. By making their profile pictures rainbow, people are supporting gay rights. I don't see how this is a problem.
I don't understand how you can let such a small thing become such an issue for you? Firstly, why can you not just let people express themselves without criticising them on the (frankly very stupid) reasoning of: "it's annoying". These people aren't harming anyone, in fact, they're actually supporting a really good cause. Secondly, changing your profile picture rainbow isn't obligatory, you aren't being forced to do it - you just can if you want to. Are you homophobic? Is that why this is bothering you?
"I don't understand how you can let such a small thing become such an issue for you?"
It's not "such an issue", it's annoying. Small things can be annoying, like an itch. Also, you don't need that question mark.
"Firstly, why can you not just let people express themselves without criticising them on the reasoning of: "it's annoying"."
I have an opinion. I voiced it. Why are you typing an entire paragraph simply because I voiced my opinion? Also, this sentence should have had a question mark at the end.
"These people aren't harming anyone"
I never said they were.
"they're actually supporting a really good cause."
I never said they weren't.
"Secondly, changing your profile picture rainbow isn't obligatory, you aren't being forced to do it"
I know. How is this relevant?
"Are you homophobic?"
No.
If the U.S. gay community can put up with years and years of the government effectively telling them they don't deserve the same rights and happiness as straight people, then the rest of you can put up with rainbow profile pics for a few weeks.
Also, I suspect that many of the people whining about all the #LoveWins celebrations are the same ones who criticize "social justice warriors" for complaining too much.
Who but a homophobe would actually object against people speaking out for gay people? Seriously, what other reason would anyone have? And as to marriage is not a right: maybhe not, but equality is.
It's not an equality issue either. No one could get gay married and everyone could get straight married. Now everyone can do both. It's no more equal now that it was before.
This is an equality issue. Here is my reasoning: some people in the USA were previously not entitled to what other people were entitled based on circumstances they could not change, it was an unequal law so it is an issue of equality.
It's not "such an issue", it's annoying. Small things can be annoying, like an itch. Also, you don't need that question mark.
