I fail to see what this twitter/facebook campaign can do. Sounds like an exercise in futility.

well I would say the topic was to discuss the video, but I get what you are saying :p

Sound. Don't worry about it, lad.

o_o

"you have no idea what he meant"

That is what you said after i said i knew what he meant and found it offensive, He then admitted that it was meant in the way i took it.

OK?

And you saying me thinking making comments on the video is unnaceptable is complete bullsh!t.

So the whole point of the video as Marsh just asked again is to spread word about all people having equal rights, its pretty self explanatory really if you read through the thread.

Getting more views for this video will raise more awareness.

Simples.

Which won't work IMO. Not a strong enough case to warrant big enough attention to make any difference.

It made a pretty big impression on me as it has online with millions of hits.

I dont see how you think that wouldnt raise awareness?

I don't see how you think that it would. What precisely do you hope comes from this video? That it becomes illegal for families to ban people from a funeral?

Ofcourse not.

You're being ridiculous and you know you are its obvious what i hope the video will achieve as ive said about 10 times now mate.

Can you please just read through the thread so i dont have to repeat myself over and over and over and over.

Very sad :(

I never knew how important Will's were and the legal side of not having one until this thead.

I honestly didnt know that i would have no rights if this ever happened to me.

Such a complicated issue.

The fact you have to legalise your relationship to have any sort of acknowledgment of how special you were to someone is crazy.

I'm not being ridiculous. And no you haven't. If it's about wills and unmarried partners rights then this is not exclusively about "Gay rights".

So you honestly dont know why i posted this video?

Considering you keep dodging the question, yes, I'm still at a loss as to what exactly you expect a twitter campaign to achieve. From what I have read in the thread until this point; any credible points are about rights for people in general rather than exclusively "gay" rights.

This is awful, but it's Kony 2012 all over again, so I doubt much change will be achieved from just sharing this video on Twitter.

So you have gone from saying im playing the gay card to now complaining that im not focusing directly on gay people as stated in the title?

Its a serious thread trying to spread acknowledgment of how people can still suffer prejudice for being different and not being seen as relevant in the eyes of the law even after being partners for over half a decade.

Im honestly getting deja vu now.

I have said all of this before so you either have **** in your eyes or you need to go to specsavers.

I give up on you please just p!ss off and stop trolling.

iv got nothing against gays but that was complete rubbish

How so?

I'm saying I fail to see where "gay" comes into it. You've made a huge deal about gay rights and I'm asking what exactly you hope to achieve for gay people with this campaign?
The issues raised in the thread pertain to heterosexual couples too, not just gays.
I'm not complaining you're not using focusing on gays, I'm complaining that you are. Because the issues raised aren't exclusive to gay people. Which I've said half a dozen times too.

I'm not trolling, and stop telling me to p!ss off when I have every right to post in these threads and add my opinion.

while i was watching it i was thinking is it actors playing the parts
i wanted to know how and why he died,
it would have left a bigger impact on me if it was just the guy speaking to the camera
from start to finish showing some photos and explaining the situation.

GAY comes into it because the video is about 2 gay men obviously and im talking about hetrosexual couples as they can also suffer the same issues.

Do you finally understand?

Thats why i was so offended when you said i was playing the gay card when i obviously wasnt.

Completely agree. The melodrama of the music and everything else just felt so forced and self pitying. Throws you at a distance straight away.

Then this is where my confusion comes from, the title of this thread heads:
"Gay rights video"

If you were discussing these issues in general then the fact that this couple was gay is pretty irrelevant. That has been the point of me questioning what you were getting at because you claim to not be playing the gay card.
There's contradiction in what you're saying.

Ah mate just **** off.

Excuse me? Is that what happens, you have a big old strop because you've realised you're not making any sense? Good to know.

Yet, I'm accused of being the rude one.
