International Day Against Homophobia - Blog Hop


Welcome!

Homophobic discrimination is a serious issue in every single country on this planet, no matter how big or small. Some countries are more advanced in GLBTQ rights, while in some countries the penalty for being a GLBTQ person is death. All over the world, GLBTQ people are shunned by society, beat up, tortured, raped, and stripped of human rights in various ways. What makes people believe that they have the right to strip someone of their human rights is beyond us.

The Hop Against Homophobia is an attempt by over 250 m/m authors, reviewers and publishers to stand together and create awareness of homophobia. Each participating blog will feature a message on homophobic discrimination in its various forms. The date, May 17th, was chosen in honor of the International Day Against Homophobia and we're hoping to get people more involved with this day by inviting them to our blogs, where the visitors have a chance to win prizes.  




Now here is your chance to win one of they 3 great books I am giving away on my blog to promote International Day Against Homophobia

    Thank you for the post! I don't know where people take the right to think they can abuse others but if they are not punished or no one cares about it that sends a wrong message as well.

    Great post! I agree with Trix if you throw out your child out on the streets, that's what makes you a bad parent!.

    I completely agree about the parenting quote. Throwing your child out of the house doesn't make you a good parent it makes you a coward.

    Great post! I like the graphic. "Disowning your child means you failed as a parent" -- too true.

    I showed a bunch of these post to the teens in my family to show them how hurt some "innocent" remarks are to many others. I get so annoyed when my nephew says "you're so gay". ERRRR drove me crazy. I know he didn't mean anything by it but it is so wrong to use that as a saying. I think that these post have helped. Thank you all for sharing with us!

    Thanks for taking part in the hop and sharing your thoughts on the subject.

    I totally agree with the banner that disowning a child makes a parent a failure and not raising a gay child.

      Thanks for sharing and I believe that picture, those parents who disown their child just for being gay they failed as being a parent.

    "Disowning your child mean you failed as a parent." So true. Children are a blessing that should be loved no matter what, even if you don't understand their choices or lifestyle. Love is love.
