I don't really want to write about the laramie project until we've seen the rest of the movie however I do really recommend that anyone who has not seen this film go out and watch it ASAP.
I also want to clear up what I think is a misconception, Christianity does not promote homophobia, I know it can appear to because yes the bible does say that homosexuality is wrong (truthfully Im completely undecided) HOWEVER it also states that two main "rules" for Christianity are love God and love your neighbor. It teaches love compassion and acceptance and I am sorry if anyone has given given another idea.
Me and a friend of mine are both Christians we both wear "Outlive homophobia" bracelets because we don't think it is fair for someone to think that God or Society hates them for something like that. I think the idea of hating someone for their sexuality is stupid and wrong and sickening . . . Hate itself is all of those things.
Just wanted to clear that up because sometimes I feel that because of a few peoples actions Christianity has been misrepresented. Kind of unrelated but definitely important.
I've heard what they say, but I'm not here for trouble.

Good comments re the video. Of course, the more we feel compassion for all those involved in this atrocity, the more we will be able to get at the roots of the crime. Hate is learned. Thus it can be unlearned. That's where we come in. We all have a role to play; starting with our own attitudes and values.
Good points also re Christianity. People who have learned to hate use selected excerpts from the Bible to back up their views. We'll talk about this some more.
