Gloating is the foundation in which all enjoyment in life is built on. :D
Is it just me, or does this kind of shit keep happening with a worrying frequency? It does. Prior to 2010 I would never have thought that people going to a Pride parade here should have to be worried about threats of violence of any kind. The fact that people feel safe enough to bring their babies along speaks loudly enough about it. Now though, idek, at the very least people are more aware of the possibility of something happening.
And like I said, there's levels and levels of bad separating gas attack, or throwing stones like happened last year in Bulgaria, and egging people. But at the end of the day all of those are signs of how much still needs to change. 'Cause the attitude behind all of those actions is the same, and that's where the real problem lays.
