I realize you are 16 years old, still young enough to learn more about the world, but old enough to also realize your words have meanings and consequences.
I realize that you have two heterosexual parents who define themselves as good Christians, honest Americans and individuals who pride themselves as being an ideal mother and father. And I realize, Willow that much of what you know about the world and how you view the world has originated from your home environment.
I am not sure however, Willow, if your parents have explained to you that sticks and stones do break bones and WILL always hurt you and those to whom you call them. I am not sure Willow in your parents zeal to teach you morals and ethics, good and bad if they even spent any time on scapegoating, on polarizing, and on not finding great glee in trying to put others down.
I am a Gay man Willow. You don't know me but you seem to think that calling someone So Gay or a FAG*%T is cool and cute. You seem to think that calling someone, anyone So Gay or a FAG*%T is a puy down, a slur something evil. I am Willow, NOT evil, nor need to be put down as someone bad, or like being referred to as a slur.
You decided to go public, Willow and state your anger and your hurtful words on Facebook, which is part of free speech in America, and no one is denying you or anyone else that right. But, Willow, you have insulted me and you have insulted me with adolescent ignorance promoted by parents who for some reason or other have done a horrible job in teaching you the Christian and American way of life.
Your intentions Willow may have been to defend your sister from criticism (your sister now is a public figure, thanks to your Mom and Dad), and people in the public have to take the love and hate or step away from the public eye. It is not just the "lame street press" as your mother constantly states that has called you out for hate, but the all the "lame street people" who have been raised by quality parents who taught them understanding, compassion, and concern.
Willow, I have two kids much older than you but when they both were 16 they both knew that scapegoating, name calling, innuendo, and spite were to never be acknowledged nor correct. Both of my kids were raised by a mother a heterosexual and a dad a homosexual who believed in values, honor and God.
You are not cute Willow, nor innocent, but guilty and grossly uneducated about the world in which you live. It is a shame your parents have not intervened in this perversion of truth and remain silent as if nothing important has happened.
I am not sure where you learned your definition of what Gay means or where you learned that using the negative slang word of FAG*%T can be hurtful. I am assuming from your family environment, but I can't be 100% sure just 99.9% sure.
But lets use your theory of defining a group by incorrect definition and inappropriate fact. Let's talk about how some of us see the world and those in it who we dislike or like to dis about.
Sarah Palin, quits her elected job, she refuses to be questioned on her belief's, she lies about the facts as they relate to Health Care, says she reads a lot of magazines but never states which one, calls anyone who disputes her all kind of names from Nazi's, Communists, unpatriotic, and likes to threaten people by taking them out with a gun. Many people Willow would say that Sarah Palin's actions and behavior are stupid, ignorant, rude, disenfranchising, and dumb. Knowing all of that Willow Palin, people could begin to call her names. Imagine Willow if all of the sudden when a stupid comment, a dumb ass remark, an arrogant rant, a rude comment is made EVERYONE started to say that's So Palin, she is such a Palin!
I know you are on Facebook Willow, and I know your Mom loves to Tweet, so I am sure you may come across my blog. Stop calling people you dislike So Gay or FAG*%Ts or you may find yourself on the return end of scapegoating by people calling folks like you who act before they think as So Palin.
You are 16, Willow, and hopefully you can learn to understand and reeducate yourself, I just wish your parents could find the time and the conscience to change their ways.
Nothing worse than bad parenting.
