Hiya
It's lovely to see someone who's prepared to stand up for what they believe in. I'm constantly trying to make the school I go to more open minded and influence the rather reactionary people I seem to be surrounded by. It's nice to see someone else with the same aim. I love the M2M2 thing but could you make it more fem orientated as well (as in F2F2 not M2F2)?

Stick in there - they'll get the idea in the end. However backward your school is, 'real life' slaps everyone in the face eventually, and they'll have to deal with the fact that not everyone is the same as them (or even that there are people the same as them, in a way they didn't think anyone could be).
As for F2F2 - I was trying to keep it simple. Depending on the response I get, I may add a specific F2F2 page...

Gosh - my intention was never really to take a stand... It's just that this is part of my life (quite a big part) and since H2G2 gives us a forum to talk about our lives I took it...

Well, whether it was you intention or not, your somewhat of an unsung hero. Although that quote was immortal, you have to admit:
"He's 15! hat boy is 15!"
"So? The Jeeps only six moths and you've still buggered it!"
has to be the funniest. Well, keep up the good work.

Awwwww! It's so nice to get positive feedback - and flattery!
Now do your bit - go and say something controversial / offensive in the forums, to get people talking!

How about getting something in the post?

I won't offend anybody, but if you want contraversy, I'm your man. Person. Getting something in the post would be fab. What though? Let's put our heads together.

OK a Link to M2M2 for starters. A few facts to set people straight, to pardon the phrase. I believe Cupid that you have some sort of Anti-Bigotry campaign going. And Tony have you seen the forum that is going on on Irving Washington's journal. Local Tragedy Global Problem. All of these are linked. I don't think contorversy would work, if we are strifing for equality we need awareness not outrage, or else we'd get look at the raging queers and people wouldn't read it. Which is just what we don't want. We might also need to get a recognised Post reported to write it for us someone that people respect and is well known, but who is also sympathetic to the casue. Do any of you guys have any idea who would be ideal?

I've Emailed Peta and Abi, so If they want to help I'll get them in on it. Irving is well respected. I did get one offer to do it, but I can't remember who from... hang on.

Nope, My imagination. It was gwens idea in the first place. I think that no matter who writes it, if it gets enough endorsement it will go fine.

Fair enough any messenger we have will be good to get the message across, I 've noticed a few pop up sort of everywhere.

Somebody should set up a forum so people can write what they think should be put in it.
