These are the words that Donovan wrote ” Hello friends, I know it doesn't mean much, but I Love You. You have a beautiful family and I pray that one persons judgemental intolerance does not in anyway put a damper on your hearts or minds. In… the words of MLK Jr.( “We remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends”).” He also went on to say “I think silence is one of the failures in people today. That when they see an injustice or an intolerance that they stay silent and that's the worst thing.” HOW PROFOUND! Donovan is a true human being and hero!

shit…didn't mean to hit ewe

While I really love this video, and have been watching some of their other videos on youtube, do you really think it's raising awareness in general or no?
Think about the audience they're trying to target. And discuss!

I know there wouldn't be much of a point but I would looove to see them do this in the SF Bay Area.

Yup, I cried. Amazing. Probably one of the most profound things I have ever seen.

4:25 started cryin
the new york thing is surprising but it's part of the bystander effect; more people there means you feel less obligated to stand up for someone.
yeah, i payed attention in AP psych

I'm sorry but the courageous acts of a few individuals do not make up for Texas's history of discrimination coded into law. I'm not saying these people weren't amazing for standing up and saying something, but that only goes so far when you're unwilling to take that attitude to the ballot.

Tolerance and acceptance for who we are is the greatest gift we can give to one another.

As a Married Lesbian~ I found this really touching. I hope with all my heart that most people would stand up for us were this to happen. We are careful though- of where we hold hands even… and that's sad. Verbal Queer Bashing is much more wide spread than the media ever reports, and Physical Queer Bashing is as well. When you see wrong- stand up and say something. Bullies win because the majority stay silent.

wow, these are so addicting… I clicked on the link and watched 20 of these… LOL

Well Donovan made an excellent point even though I dont *support* gays I in no way hate or judge them and who am I to judge, I think thats up to a higher power whether it be God or whatever I would never judge them for it I just let them live their life and I live mine.

I feel like the reason why so many people stood up for them is because gays are not particularly accepted in the Southern states, but with the shift of gay rights and all of the media about gay marriage the peple of the Sotuh are finally turning things around slowly and showing acceptance to those who believe they will never be accepted. In a South where we are all conservatives, it is up to the rest of us that believe in gay marriage and gay rights to stand up for them whenever possible.

tbh, i would have never thought that guy would have written such a touching letter just by looking at him. even more reason to never judge just from appearance.

I'm sobbing like an infant.

As a native New Yorker, that's perfectly normal to mind your own business. You never know who's packin' heat.

Fuckyeahtexasy'all

Aww I almost started crying when the guy wrote a note for her. ;-; Seeing the good things humanity CAN do makes me feel so much more better about life. Also props to the actor playing the “bad guy.” That would be soo hard to do!

Yea I'de agree that New Yorkers are more “stand-offish” to others? I don't know if that's the word I'm looking for, but if they stood up to people everytime they see something messed up like that, they'de never get anywhere in their daily lives.. I just think that Texans may be more friendly towards others, I don't know though.. that's just maybe what I could see happening behind that all

Alright Texas!
If only the right side of the isle would pay more attention to the majority instead of pushing their ideologies on them, we would finally have equal rights for everyone!

WOW, Just Amazing. I Am so teared up right now and This must have the “Must See” tag to this. This is what I want to see, Love for all.
