And yet something else to disagree about. I like the safety pin movement. I believe it stands for exactly what is posted above. You are safe with me – I will not abuse you, make fun of you, or denigrate you because of who you are, what you look like or what/who you believe in. I will stand beside you – if others should speak out against you for these very reasons. I will speak up for you.
I know others, find this to be trite. They blame the elections results on “White People” and therefore – no white person should be allowed to say they disagree with the results? That’s absurd. They believe the safety pin movement is nothing and means nothing.
I disagree. Millions of people wear red ribbons – does that mean that each person is attempting for find a cure for HIV? NO ! Millions of people wear pink ribbons – are they attempting to find a cure for Breast Cancer? NO! They wear those ribbons to let the world know, and those who are diagnosed know that they support those who suffer and that they want a cure found. Many donate money or time to raise money – hoping that the money will lead to cures.
Is the safety pin any different? While there are not yet fund-raising aspects – I expect at some point there will be – the support is the same.
But we are each entitle to our own opinions – this is mine.
