What would it be like to be gay for one day? What would your world be like? What would change?
I was out with a group of friends at a local theme park. As we were walking around, laughing and having a great time. A new female friend mentioned how it would be so cool to be gay for a day.
As the Universe heard her mention these words, two guys walked by our group and one said to the other, “I am glad I am not stuck around those fags all day.”
I looked at my new female friend and said, “Yes gay for one day. FUN!”
I wonder what would change if everyone was able to see what it was like to be gay for one day. Would they see the hurt their words cause? Would they see the struggle we face? Would they see we are all the same?

I think it would clarify a lot of ignorance people own in how they see gay people. When someone can be shown that we are all just people, trying to do our best in life and be happy, it will be an eye opening experience.
There would be a countless number of “ah ha!” moments and “I get it now(s)!” which would make the world a lot better place to live in. Maybe “gay for a day” is exactly what the world needs, a cultural field trip that will soothe the hearts of so many who have been hurt by the ignorance of others.
Great idea Michael’s new female friend!

i agree with seth!
people might see how going against the grain requires courage.
and that if you are not loud+proud, you may not be free!
