I wouldn't have to know they are gay. Without context just not talking to someone all of a sudden would be rude.

...and yelling at somebody (as in some other forms of protest) isn't rude?

out of context, yes, but you don't honestly think that a bunch of protestors are just going to be silent without explaining to anyone else why?

One could just remain silent for the day on their own.  Maybe have a little button or sticker that says why they are being silent.

Yeah, but thats almost to be expected. The reason I thought that was notable was that I'd much prefer they shut up, and there they go doing it.

I get what you are saying imperito.  I do see the humor/irony in it all.

Not to mention, I think that if somebody was all of a sudden not talking to me at all... I would think that they have a problem with me, not that they are joining in on some protest.  So it is kindof silly.  What happened to good old fashioned picket signs and marches?  I mean... if you got something to say... isn't that a good enough way to do it? :)

you just think that because you're not noticing the 'negative space' in this picture... as an example of my point: http://members.lycos.co.uk/brisray/optill/oind.htm

you aren't realizing the power of silence--you'd have to either use it or have it used on you to fully realize how truly powerful not yelling really can be--and if they have a sticker/pin/flyer telling you why they're being silent, you have no excuse to thinking it has to do directly with you.

Because then people like imperito will bitch that they're shoving their sexuality in their faces.
