Word Swap: Gay will now be known as Love.
When I read that Tennessee is considering a law that basically allows bullying in schools under the guise of a religious umbrella, I had a thought. What if we substituted the word ‘gay’ for ‘love’? In this case, the current headline of “Tennessee Anti-Bullying Law Change Could Allow Students To Speak Out Against Gays For Religious Reasons: Report” would read “Tennessee Anti-Bullying Law Change Could Allow Students To Speak Out Against Love For Religious Reasons: Report”.
Think about it, gay bashing would be love bashing. Anti-gay sentiment would be anti-love sentiment. Gay revulsion expressed by the likes of GOP candidate Santorum (google his name) or former candidate Bachman would be seen as a complete disdain for love. When candidate Santorum told the New York Times in 2005 that gay marriage threatens his marriage, in our new word swap world, what he was really saying is that love threatens his marriage.
Seems like an effective tool to level a discriminatory playing field and to more accurately brand what we’re talking about which, is love by the way.
