[ I think lgbt does deserve a day. I think that a large majority of gays are bullied, when most people who are short or fat or something probably aren't. I'm not saying we shouldn't support them, but thats what Pink Shirt day is for. Some people are killed for being gay and I think that the idea of revoking a holiday to support them would be a hate full thing to do. I do think that its important to stop bullying, but the group that gets the wort of it in my opinion is gays. Obviously in the US they are still not excepted in a few places. Its not even legal for them to marry in some places, so thats why they deserve a day. They get killed, bullied, fired, shunned, and they can't even marry. Things like that don't happen to someone who got bullied as a child for being fat. Imagine what it would be like if a law was made that prevented fat people from being married.Gays do deserve a day to themselves. You mentioned "religious, female, male, black, white, asian, short, fat, tall, thin". Sense when has anyone been killed for being religious, male, short, fat, thin, tall more than anyone else? People even praised for being all of those. Sure people are racist. But there also also days dedicated to being against racism, so I don't see why gays are any different and can't support that they can live in this country openly, honestly, and in the hope of doing so without punishment.

People who are gay have been tortured, killed, and worse. They have been thought to have been a disease and were forced to go through horrible things like shock therapy.

This day is to support equal rights- something gays don't have. Although there are people against all the other things you mentioned they all have equal rights. Its something gays don't have and something they need in order to make this a fare country. ]

Thousands of people are killed daily and all throughout history people are killed for their religious beliefs. I know several people personally who cannot tell me where they currently are or mention their religion for fear of being arrested and killed. You can look through history or even google some modern deeds for the other cases of such happenings with the other groups. What international holiday is there against racism? Please tell me, I would love to know about this.

That truly isn't any different from the others I have mentioned. There are millions of instances of people getting tortured, killed, etc. Like I said, they aren't special.

They can vote, they can work, they get equal pay, they have a right to arms, they have a right to have whatever religion they want, or lack there of, and to revere it in the way of their choosing, they can burn the flag, they can protest, they have every right.
