    I just saw a huge billboard on the side of a shop in my town. It said, and I believe this is verbatim:

    "SO SOME PEOPLE ARE GAY. GET OVER IT." And that was pretty much it.

    Haha well Oxford sounds like quite a prim and tidy town. :slight_smile: Middlesbrough isn't, so much. Y'know what student accomodation is like? Just kinda organised chaos, all a bit grimy, etc? Middlesbrough is that on a much bigger scale.

    Yeah, that was it! Although mine was just the bit on the left. Didn't see the stonewall logo, it's really small.

    That's pretty awesome.

    I saw a PFLAG billboard in Dallas on I-35E South. Just thought Becky might like to know. Although it's gone now and replaced with an ad for Charter Telecommunications. :/

    Wow, I don't think I've ever seen a gay billboard anywhere near where I live. Maybe someday.

    Today an adminstrator from my college gave us a lecture on proper and appropriate things to post on Facebook and Myspace (b/c apparently its a problem here), and he showed us a picture of this...

    [​IMG]

    (actually it was a clown puking a rainbow into a toilet, but you get the idea)

    Then he says, "I'm not sure why this is offensive and I have no idea what its supposed to mean?" The funny part is that most people at my school believe he is gay so of course the whole room burst out laughing.
