From the 'forget keep calm, it's time for equal marriage' thing that's going around:

I know I'm preaching to the choir with you guys when it comes to LGBT equality, but believing something is fair and actually getting off your bum and doing something about it doesn't always follow like it should. So here's a little (and slightly preachy) reminder!!

Wow, sorry I'm not being a good enough lesbian in this campaign!

I really hope this was started by someone who's queer, not someone who's straight, or at least that it's targeted at straight people. Because otherwise, nice job telling the people who will benefit from this change that they should be taking action about it, and specifically the action that whoever created the post thinks is the right action.

I'm not sure exactly why this gets at me so much when I'm sure it was done for good reasons, but how much do I hate the undertone of 'if you don't act, it'll be your fault that the measure doesn't get passed, and to hell with societal prejudice and how 500,000 people have signed a petition against gay marriage. Nope, it's your fault for being a bad queer person and not getting active.'
