I just got back from spraypainting over this horrible crap I saw at the park yesterday.
Basically, before, it said "HOMOSEXUALITY IS WRONG> GOD MADE ADAM AND EVE, NOT ADAM AND STEVE."
First of all, I wasn't even aware people really SAID that. Do they not realize how stupid it sounds?
Second of all, it just upset me a lot to know that this town really is as bigoted as I thought it was.
So I made a plan yesterday to come out today and cover it up...because that just does not fly with me. At all...so I got my black spraypaint and my pink spraypaint...went out there, covered all of it up in black and then wrote, in large pink letters:
OPEN YOUR HEART
And then I put a big heart next to it.
I dunno, it might not be a big deal to some of y'all...I just felt the need to post this. Ordinarily I don't go about putting graffiti on stuff..but I had to do this. I didn't want that awful message being up any longer.

I think it was a little too old to be scrubbed off in all honesty. Plus I wanted to put a better message on there, instead of nothing. *shrug* Just me.

Graffiti is all about getting GOOD messegas out. Yours is. The other makes me want to punch something. I seriously cannot stand close-minded waxs that can't look past their waxing insecurities and open their GODDAMN waxING MINDS.

Yeah...unfortunately there are a hell of a lot of people like that around here. Small town Kansas, after all. I just figured I'd actually put something around there that meant something positive, other than the crap that was there before, or all the weed stuff that's all over the other walls and supports of the bridge.

I'm well aware it was. But I'm not really concerned about that in all honesty.
Did it harm anyone? Even me?
No.

Good on ya, man. A good friend of mine is a tagger, and he purposely goes over anything racist or homophobic with his art. You have my support.

I'm proof that not all people of faith feel that way.

I'm glad. I know not all people of faith do feel that way, and it's good to know you're one of 'em. It's just unfortunate that most around here do feel that way, even if they don't have a religion. It upsets me so, so much.

I hate graffiti and I think taggers should face serious jail time, even for first time offenders. That said, if i saw that spraypainted somewhere, I would have had a good laugh

I saw that written on a bathroom stall once. Underneath it I wrote "Moses wore a skirt" and the Black Flag logo.

Yeah, so... thats pretty effed up. It's pretty friggin ridiculous that we've still got people being bashed becuase they like people of the same gender. Like, that doesnt even rate as a good reason to hate someone. Now, if they were a total asshole, THEN, its ok to hate them, regardless of sexual orentation.

Yeah, exactly. Judge people on their own merits, not who they happen to be attracted to.

And if not, can we send some of our criminals there?
